I don’t use it and it keeps ruining my day. I recently got a vertical mouse that I’m still not 100% used to, and the paste triggers every time I press the wheel by mistake.

If you're on Wayland, there should be a toggle for it in the KDE settings.
For me on Plasma 6, it's called "Middle Click:" and then "Pastes Selected Text", under "Workspace" → "General Behaviour".

If you're on X11, this is implemented in X.org, so X.org would need to provide that option, not KDE. I researched that for half a minute and it didn't look great, but yeah, you'll want to do your own research.
Or try out the Wayland session, if you haven't yet.

Developers do not look for reports on social media, so they will not see it and all it does is clutter up the feed.
