@meta v81 broke mixed reality

meta
This is not a subjective opinion - bring back the option to disable/enable "Double Tap for Passthrough", forcing it on with no way to disable ruins mixed reality games and limits the creativity of developers working in the MR space. I understand for some applications it may be useful, for others it is the opposite - just bring back the toggle option in the settings, there was no reason to remove it and certainly no reason to FORCE it to be on. Having it as a toggle in the settings as it was in previous patches - was the perfect move. This patch is a regression.
 
v81 introduced a forceful setting "Double Tap for Passthrough" which was in previous patches optional and toggleable by the user.
It is now forced ON with no way to disable in the settings.
This has broke SEVERAL of the mixed reality games that I play. Some games literally require that I touch my head or bring my hands to my head or shake my head which now forcefully PAUSES the game and renders the entire experience unplayable. I thought this would be resolved with the new hot patch for v81 I waited so eagerly for - it didn't, must have fallen under the radar.

I will be reposting this in every forum so that it may hopefully gather the attention of the appropriate developers at Meta.

Thank you for otherwise creating an amazing product but until this is patched I and many others will still be unable to use the headset for various applications that were previously working perfectly.
