No more engine start/stop disable for 2021, WTF!

I have a 2018 and I'm used to simply disabling the engine start/stop function every time I start the car. So, since my lease is expiring in 3 months I went to test drive the 2021 today. I immediately noticed that the disable button is gone and there's just a blank plate. I initially thought this was great, it's back to the good ol days when we didn't have to deal with this. I get to the first light and the engine cuts off. I asked the salesperson how to kill it. He said there's no way to turn it off anymore, you just have to live with it. This is the first modern car I've driven or been where you can't disable the start/start. What a disaster.
