AirPods - Follow my phone setting keeps resetting

So super annoying issue. The "Follow my phone" option for spacial audio quite frankly is annoying in my opinion so I always want it off.


This issue I'm having is that whenever I connect my Airpot Pro's and start listening to music, the setting has 'reset' or something. I go to settings -> Accessibility -> airpods -> and the follow my phone setting is switched off but my music is still following my phone... I click the slider on and back off and that re-sets it to being off... Extremely annoying.


Phone is an iPhone 12 Pro running iOS 15.3.1. Have power cycled... have 'forgot about' AirPods and re-synced, issue persists.
