Vim exclusively make i enter insert mode

Question

My Vim setup has it (by default) so that non-i keys will enter insert mode. This includes a and s among others.

Is there a setting to make i exclusively enter insert mode?

No, there is no other way than remap all commands that start insert mode.

Do you know where I could find a list of these?

@Ge0rges you would need to look through manual in :h normal-index and :h visual-index as there is hell lot of different ways to enter insert mode (and one that you cannot disable :startinsert). However my main question would still be valid - why?
