How to PERMANENTLY disable Handsfree Telephony for a bluetooth device in Windows 11?

I need to disable Handsfree Telephony to make my Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones work in MS Teams (as resolved in this thread).

But, the setting keeps being enabled again - possibly during reboot or bluetooth re-connection.

Is there a way to PERMANENTLY disable the setting for this device?

Aside: I'm open to a fix in powershell if anyone knows the API calls for toggling the setting based on BT connection trigger.

    Microsoft needs to fundamentally fix this in Windows and disable the usage of this terrible technology. What a joke that you go into settings, you disable it manually through a series of clicks, just for a reboot to wipe it all. This is pathetic.
