Remove "Erase Disk..." option from right-click context menu in macOS 15
Since macOS 15, the right-click context menu for removable volumes has an entry "Erase Disk..." right next to the "Eject" entry:  Is there any way to remove the erase option from the context menu? I'm afraid that I will accidentally click on it while ejecting a volume. I'm aware that accidentally clicking it will open a confirmation dialogue and not directly erase the volume, but I'd like to avoid the momentary panic this will nevertheless cause. I already checked in [onyx](https://titanium-software.fr/en/onyx.html), which is usually a good bet for such kinds of modifications, but I can only see an option to remove the "Eject" entry. --- (In case the exact OS version is relevant, I'm currently using macOS 15.2 on an M1 chip)
