Hide EFI System Partition in Windows Disk Optimizer?

In Windows 11 24H2 "Optimize Drives" app if I select Advanced view both the Recovery Partition and EFI System Partition show up as volumes w/ partition IDs. You can actually optimize/TRIM the Recovery partition but the EFI partition has always said "never run" and "optimization not available" I assume it is because it is locked and FAT32? I'm not sure. Out of curiosity, I know that the Recovery Partition/Volume and EFI System Volume didn't always show up...is there a way to hide at least the EFI partition? Not a big deal...but it would look "cleaner."
