What happened to "automatic graphics switching" option?

I just updated to Big Sur on my Macbook Air. I need to maximize the performance of my graphics card, which through research I learned could be done by disabling "automatic graphics switching" in the Battery section of System Preferences. However... that checkbox isn't there. Am I missing something? Did they remove that feature for Big Sur? How can I disable the automatic graphics switching now?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.14

I didn't think any of the Airs came with a second graphics card.
