Description
Components in KiCad marked as "Exclude from BOM" are exported to the Interactive HTML BOM anyway, and I haven't found a way to disable this.
Workarounds are to set the component as "DNP" or change type of the component to "Virtual" and blacklist all virtual components, but that's not always ideal.

Research direction
Start by tracing how the “Blacklist virtual components” checkbox affects Interactive HTML BOM export, and compare that behavior with KiCad’s “Exclude from BOM” setting. Determine whether the checkbox label or its filtering behavior should change, then verify that excluded components are handled consistently in the generated BOM.
