Is there a way to remove the Homepod from the audio options during a phone call? like where it says iPhone/Speaker, mine also shows my Homepod, which I do not want.

I've looked all over the place in settings and cannot find the option. This has bothered me for several years now.
 
I don't own a HomePod but for other devices (Mac, iPad, iPhone) I can disable them individually here:
Settings > Phone > Calls on Other Devices
Another possibility could be:
Settings > General > Airplay & Handoff > Transfer to HomePod
Or perhaps:
Home.app > [press/hold the icon of your HomePod] > Settings > Personal Requests
 
Nope, that doesn't do it. It's ridiculous that Apple hasn't figured out that not everyone wants to take phone calls on ten different HomePods throughout the house...

Yeah none of those work. I just want the simple switch from speaker to phone like it is when I'm not connected to my home wifi. Its truly baffling.
