Is it possible to turn off a go workspace without deleting the go.work file?

I must be missing something here. It seems like the point of go workspaces is to enable local dev without mucking up the go.mod file with "replace", which seems great. But if a go.work file exists, any go command will silently use the local dev related dependencies defined in that file. The default GOWORK env var cannot be edited, so the existence of the file is enough to quietly use different dependencies than the go.mod file for any commands run. This seems like a massive footgun to release local dev changes as part of your package if anyone forgets to run all commands with GOWORK=off or delete the go.work file. Why would running in dev mode be the default? Is there a way to turn it off without deleting the file?
