Charging port light no longer indicates charge

[Mach-Lee]

I was reading through the manual and other posts, trying to find out how to turn off the blue "Charge" indicator lights. The charger/unlock icon is greyed out on the controls page. It looks like you are not able to turn off the ring of blue charge lights, at the charge port door anymore?

Correct, the setting to turn off the charge port lights has been removed.

Years ago I was talking with a guy that installed large industrial process heaters around the world.
He told me about a time he was commissioning a process heater at a refinery in Borneo and they were doing the initial startup after construction was completed and the startup crew and the refinery crew were in the control room and the heater shut off for no apparent reason. They went outside to investigate and looked at the local control panel and all the lights and switches were on and everything seemed normal. So, not finding any reason it shut off, they went back in the control room and re-started the heater and a little while later, it shut off again.
They went outside again and they found the cause:
Baboons were attracted to the lights on the local control panel and were coming out of the jungle and pushing buttons on the panel causing the heater to shut down. Their solution, remove all the lights from the local control panel.

This is why I had my charge port lights turned off, I charge my car outside and I do not want a roaming gang of Baboons being attracted to the light and coming out of the jungle and pushing buttons

I cannot understand why Ford would take something so innocuous off the UI. Now I have to be worried about Baboons messing with my car in the middle of the night.
