Hi
It doesn't look good when some of the solutions have caused issues. I've sent a feedback to Apple, hopefully the more of us send a complaint the more likely they will to change it.
"If you need to stop this behavior--to clean the keyboard, for example--you can force a shutdown once.
Press and hold the left Control and Command buttons with the right Shift button for a total of 7 seconds. Without releasing them, press the Power button and hold them all together for an additional 7 seconds. Your Mac can only be powered on by using the Power button.
Unfortunately, there is no way to disable this permanently."
It seems you can set ‘auto-boot’ as false.
‘AutoBoot’ is the variable name you added or introduced.
Any idea how to set it? I tried auto-boot false and autoboot false and the system says "command not found"
Not only didn't it not work, it gave a error so it would not boot. Had to reinstall the operating system.

This is what I get with that command on a 2018 Macbook Air running on Intel:
