We had to disable the auto hatch in both our Outback and Sportage for exactly the same reason.

Please Allow Disabling Remote Tailgate Release
The top of my tailgate, mainly on the plastic, now has several scratches from my garage door opening. How? Why? You may ask. The problem is the button on the remote only needs to be pressed for less than a second to lower the liftgate. Twice now, while I've been in the house, with the remote in my pocket, the liftgate was lowered unintentionally because the button somehow got pushed. Then I go to leave and the garage door (rollup type) goes thwackity thwackity thwackity on the liftgate as it rises.
They either need to require the button to be pressed for a longer period - at least 4 seconds, or have an option to disable remote release of the liftgate in the vehicle settings.
Hyundai sends me an alert if my doors are left unlocked - perhaps they can send a message when the tailgate is left down for extended periods of time when the vehicle is locked.

How did you disable it?
it appears to be electromechanical aka solenoid : so how do you open the tailgate without power?

if you unplug the connector to the solenoid. You can't release the tailgate. Unless there is a mechanical way to do it? Can someone invent a door to access the latch mechanism from the tailgate?
