According to Microsoft's documentation, a user can only change the setting to enable or disable the new People section three times a year.

However, it is that seemingly arbitrary three-times-a-year limit applied to the People section that is most concerning. Why not four? Why not as many times as a user wants?
Possibly because deleting or recreating the data is resource-intensive on the servers. It might actually be a good sign that Microsoft really removes the data, not just mark it inactive, when you turn the feature off.

To disable (for now), go to Privacy & Permissions → People section.
(if you are in EU, maybe it is deactivated by default)

Microsoft's OneDrive spots your mates, remembers their faces, and won't forget easily
