Indexables queries still running with should_index_indexables filter set false

Trying to use the new ‘Yoast\WP\SEO\should_index_indexables’ filter like so…

add_filter( 'Yoast\WP\SEO\should_index_indexables', 'tl_disable_indexables' );
function tl_disable_indexables(){
    return false;
}

I can see the that the two tables stopped populating, which is great.

However, the plugin is still running indexables queries on the frontend.

For example, on a single post the following queries can be seen:

SELECT *
FROM <code>wp_yoast_indexable</code>
WHERE <code>object_id</code> = '194164'
AND <code>object_type</code> = 'post'
LIMIT 1

DELETE
FROM <code>wp_yoast_indexable_hierarchy</code>
WHERE <code>indexable_id</code> = NULL

SELECT *
FROM <code>wp_yoast_indexable</code>
WHERE <code>object_id</code> = '2'
AND <code>object_type</code> = 'user'
LIMIT 1

SELECT *
FROM <code>wp_yoast_indexable</code>
WHERE <code>object_type</code> = 'home-page'
LIMIT 1

Is this expected behavior?

The hope was that this filter would also prevent the overhead associated with these queries.

Thank you,
