In at least one case you're confusing being pissed off with pitying you.

SunRace (who now owns the Sturmey-Archer name) makes a disc brake 8-speed internal hub. Check this out:

Speaking of this, I just removed my bent front derailleur and shifter cable and am going to leave it off since I've never once used the outer (in NYC). Is there anything wrong with this? Is my chain going to start falling off without the front derailleur?

No your chain should be fine with no deraillure.
