Can't disable "Connect via Network"

I've upgrade my macbook m3 pro to macOS 15, I have 2 iPhones (12 Pro and 16 Pro) - both on iOS 18 and have 3 versions of Xcode installed (15.4, 16.0, 16.1-2 beta)

For the past week I'm unable to develop on my physical device and checked all the threads in this forum for a workaround to disable the "Connect via Network".

If I'm not connected to VPN on any of my devices, I get the process attached via network after ~20 minutes, but if I try to do it while on VPN it takes forever (not even sure, can't spend 1 hour waiting to be attached or not)

What can I do to disable the "Connect via Network" and why is enabled by default and greyed out?

I think this has been an issue since macOS 14/Xcode 15/iOS 17. I search the forums every so often to see if anyone has found a solution. Seems like a lot of people have posted about it and provided feedback to Apple, but so far Apple hasn't fixed it. I've been focusing more on Android development or iOS 16. I appreciate the information about macOS 15. I hadn't tried that yet, so it's good to know that it won't fix anything.

This remains an issue. The checkbox is grayed out so you cannot check or uncheck it.
