SPInstallPrereqs: sqlncli.msi is no longer required after November 2021 CU

Problem description

According to the information in November 2021 CU for SharePoint 2016 and 2019 it is no longer recommended to have Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Native Client (sqlncli.msi) installed on the SharePoint servers as it's no longer used. Is it possible to remove this from the prerequisite installation?
I've not tested if the prerequisite installer still enforces installation of sqlncli.msi

Suggested solution

Remove installation of sqlncli.msi when installed CU version of SharePoint is November 2021 or newer.

SharePoint version and build

SP 2016 and SP2019 November 2021 CU and newer

Operating system the target node is running

not relevant

PowerShell version and build the target node is running

not relevant

SharePointDsc version

4.8.0

Start with the SPInstallPrereqs resource entry point and inspect how the SQLNCli property and SharePoint build or CU version are evaluated. Confirm the November 2021 CU references in the issue, then identify the resource tests, if present; done means sqlncli.msi is not installed for SharePoint 2016 and 2019 November 2021 CU or newer.
