How do I disable 'touch and hold to customise lock screen'?

A previous poster asked this, and the answer given was: Turn off 'Tap to open' in Settings > Accessibility > Touch. I cannot find this option on my 12 Pro with iOS 16. So is there a way of disabling this feature or not?

Context: in its wisdom, Apple decided to allow touch-holding the lock screen to bring up the customise function. But more often than not when I pull the phone from my pocket or just pick it up, my finger touches the screen and it goes into customise mode. It’s getting irritating now.

iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 16
