With the last few updates I noticed that Apple has taken away the off mode when you have your AirPods in. I was wondering why they took that away. I really like that more than the other. I don’t really care for the noise cancellation although I know it’s a good feature. Will this off feature be returning for AirPods in any feature updates?

I had the same issue. This article explains how to get the "Off" option back: https://www.yahoo.com/tech/turn-off-airpods-active-noise-160021880.html
Select your connected AirPods from the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad, then scroll down to the bottom and turn on the switch labeled "Off Listening Mode." You'll see a message recommending that one of the noise cancelation modes be turned on in order to reduce exposure to loud sounds.
Confirm the prompt to enable the hidden Off option.
Why did Apple remove the Off Mode for AirPods?
