Apple recently updated a Support Article on this topic. Actually, this came with iOS 14.4.
Turn headphone notifications on or off
You can also turn on Reduce Loud Sounds to automatically lower your headphone volume when it exceeds your set decibel level.
*Due to regulations and safety standards, headphone notifications can't be turned off in certain countries or regions.
This indicates the assertion the option to turn this setting off is not correct. It does appear that in some countries and regions the setting cannot be turned off.
Did you buy your phone in a region or list your region in your phone as one which would prevent you from turning this setting off?
Read the full support article here --> Headphone notifications on your iPhone, iPod touch, or Apple Watch - Apple Support
Regardless?? Are you kidding? The whole issue here is why Apple is not letting users turn headphone safety off. Samsung lets its users turn it off. End of the story.
Put it in a feedback submission
The more people post in the feedback page, the more likely it’ll happen. Its what everyones saying to do
If you read the post just above yours that is because the Bluetooth standard does not have different profiles for speakers and headphones so the phone has no way to differentiate between them.

Would be great if other would tell them the same thing...
I submitted it as a feature request
Right now, that's really all you can do.
Best of luck!
Great. Tell Apple. You're not speaking with Apple on this user to user only forum.

You’ll be able to identify each BT device as headphones, speaker, etc. in 14.4. Instead of automatically reducing volume you’ll just receive a notification suggesting you reduce it yourself.
Sadly, from what I gather, AirPods cannot be set to anything other than headphones unfortunately.
Which means that Apple have shot themselves in the foot and people will likely not buy them anymore.
Go to sounds and click ..classify headphones . There are about 4 choices.
I clicked on Bluetooth speaker
give it a shot
Upgrade to 14.4 and they should be there.
if not, ‘forget’ the Bluetooth speaker and re-pair, it should be there when you select the !
and if the selection is not there delete the device and re-pair.
Note: Apple branded headphones and airpods cannot be manipulated this way.
The only issue that isn’t resolved is if you use Apple or Beats ear pods all others are resolved by selecting the option next to the device and selecting ‘other’.
