Generative Fill layers should auto-rasterize or allow direct deletion instead of blocking with an error message

When using Generative Fill on transparent backgrounds, the AI constantly generates useless background pixels (like grey artifacts/floors) instead of transparency. 

When we try to select these unwanted pixels and hit the "DELETE" key, Photoshop completely blocks us with a dynamic layer error message. 

We shouldn't have to manually right-click and "Rasterize Layer" every single time we just want to clear an area. Adobe needs to either allow direct deletion on these layers (by auto-rasterizing behind the scenes) or give us an option to bypass this restriction. It's totally destroying the workflow for cutting, compositing, and character design.
