Intrusive Satellite messaging pop up, please disable

I would like to disable the very annoying pop up intrusive iMessage notification, I have T-mobile SpaceX satellite.

Why can't we disable the built in Apple satellite messaging? I have no need for it when I'm in the USA.

This feature is available in
