WTH Are all entities by default pushed to Alexa?

Why the hack can’t I choose (from the GUI) to only push select entities to Alexa and omit them by default?

When a new device is discovered, I get battery sensors, firmware update indications, link quality entities, etc. pushed to alexa. This also happens with whatever device name, before I’ve finished setting it up in Home Assistant (which frequently includes renames).

When I add a bunch of devices at once, I end up having all of them in the Alexa app (bling, bling, bling!). Alexa doesn’t properly allow batch removing them, so either remove each one hand by hand or do a full delete and scan after that. (Which means the entities are also removed from Alexa routines, which I do use heavily).
