At least on Android google maps, there's an option to avoid ferries. But if you don't set the option before you get started, it's a pita to change options.
As for your other question, it looks like the guy was responding to an implied “I can’t turn off tolls as a hack bypass ferries because the bridge also requires a toll”. I’d speculate that it wasn’t obvious there’s a ferry-specific filter because the other filters show up as pills.

It’s not on the quick select pills so it’s not obvious but yes you can https://youtube.com/shorts/SA72d9VfsPg?is=F6zKWQNOkokN31F3

The main alternate route is a toll bridge unfortunately.
That does not answer the question.
