If your impulse is "don't tell the newbies how to edit the registry!" then kindly redirect your anger to the AI corps who made this necessary in the first place.

Yeah, the real issue is that there is no user visible setting to turn it off.

And there is no guarantee that a future Windows update won't just turn it back on.
