How do I fully opt out of the Notification Summary feature?

My phone recently updated, and ever since then my notifications were replaced by a mock summary that simply tells me I can reduce interruptions by creating a notification summary. While I understand why some people would want this feature, I don't. Notification summary is not currently scheduled nor do I wish it to be. Until I started seeing this notification, which is so important to Apple it goes on my lock screen to trumpet the apps I have notifications for despite my settings otherwise, I didn't even look at this feature. But fine, I know about it now and want it actually turned off for real. I don't need to see a notification saying I can have a summary, especially when it is putting me on blast on the lock screen! How do I stop this notification about notifications settings so I can get back to using my phone?

iPhone 8, iOS 15

This is seriously the least helpful information you could have shared. Apple updated and put it on our lock screens, it’s not “unexpected behavior” or our phones not up to date. It was forced on us and even with all the notifications turned off I still see the summary that is literally just apps. Not to mention this has to be single handedly the least aesthetic feature apple has rolled out. And this is the response your customer service provide?? Does your customer service even up to date on iPhone features? Truly terrible. The feature needs to be optional, there is no reason to force this on everyone unless (and likely so) your greedy company is using this to be paid by apps to advertise them on all of our lock screens. Stop forcing ugly aesthetics on us and let us curate our own phones… what a poor response to a poor feature. Do better.
