Assuming your '24 is the same as my '22, only the front port under the HVAC controls is off when the ignition is off. The others are always on.

There is a fuse for each power port. You could remove the one for that port when not needed. I doubt there is any other way to disable it.
there isn't... it's how it's wired... "it's a feature, not a bug".
the only way to fix it is to either add a switch next to the outlet or rewire it so that it does shut off with the rest of the car... either way, it's a modification and causes warranty issues when there's an electrical issue later
unfortunately, the simplest way to deal with it, is a low tech (and inconvenient) way: unplug it when you get out of the car... perhaps someone has made something that can remotely switch it off and on you can buy and you can use that, but any added electronics that you plug into the car can also introduce weird electrical/electronics issues due to interference (it has happened due to cheap crappy phone chargers)

The cooler I have has a setting to turn itself off when necessary to protect the car's battery, you might check to see if your cooler has a similar setting.
Good suggestion but I checked and ours doesn't have anything like that.
Consider trying one of these

I see it has an auto off feature! thanks for the suggestion.
