How to prevent Metal API from being checked on every new project created

I don't use Metal in most of my projects. I don't want to use Metal in most of my projects. But every new macOS swift project I create has the Metal API Validation checked. This produces the dreaded "Unable to locate MetalPluginName property or is of the wrong type" and one or two other errors. How do I get Metal out of my default builds? I know how to uncheck the Validation API but I don't want it checked in the first place.

macOS: 11.6 (20G165) Xcode: Version 13.0 (13A233)

Any suggestions appreciated.

TIA ClarkW
