Disabling Pattern Directory doesn't remove all references (since 6.7)

[MadtownLems]

Description

We are using the following code snippet to disable the Pattern Directory

function example_theme_support() {
    remove_theme_support( 'core-block-patterns' );
}
add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'example_theme_support' );

from here:
https://developer.wordpress.org/block-editor/how-to-guides/curating-the-editor-experience/disable-editor-functionality/#disable-the-pattern-directory

Since 6.7, there are still visible references to the Pattern Directory.

Step-by-step reproduction instructions

1. Put the provided code snippet into functions.php, a plugin, or similar
2. Use the Block Inserter, click on Patterns, choose a category of Patterns, and see multiple references to the Pattern Directory

Good catch. I can confirm in 6.7 and Gutenberg:

I should clarify, though, that this is not actually new in 6.7 - I just missed it until now. I see the same in 6.6.2

I opened #67240 together with @PawelDabrowa during Contributor Day at WordCamp Wrocław. We mostly identified the place in the code and how the label could potentially be removed. However, the part that adds the proper logic still needs to be developed. I won't have time to work on it, so someone else must take it over.

Punting this one to 6.8 as it seems it won't be ready for a 6.7.2 release.
