Play console does not consider uses-feature -> required="false" in manifest for android app bundle

I am trying to publish app bundle on play store. It shows wifi only tablet not supported because of android.hardware.telephony feature. I set this feature's required flag to false. But still play console shows the same error in device catalogue. Any idea why it is showing an error as not supported device samsung galaxy A7 lite (wifi only)?

I am checking this problem in a following way: I upload app bundle then I save it. Before publishing I go to device catalogue to check the supported devices for the same app bundle. And there I see an error.

My AndroidManifest permissions and features:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
            
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
        
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" />
            
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
            
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
        
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
            
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
        
        <uses-feature
                android:name="android.hardware.camera"
                android:required="false"
                tools:node="replace"/>
        
            <uses-feature
                android:name="android.hardware.camera.autofocus"
                android:required="false"
                tools:node="replace"/>
        
            <uses-feature
                android:name="android.hardware.telephony"
                android:required="false"
                tools:node="replace"/>

Merged manifest:
