Disable swipe lock screen left for camera

After digging through settings, I found posts on macrumors from this Fall and here in Apple support from 2022 confirming that there is no way to disable access to the camera by swiping left on the lock screen. I am shocked, Apple please with all the new attention you've put into the lock screen and widgets, can we please have the setting to turn this off? I can't tell you how often I discover my phone heating up my pants because the camera has inadvertently swiped on. And with the new camera button???
