disableDef​aultIntera​ctivity with GeographicAxes bug?

I'm trying to stop a GeographicAxes from panning while I interact with it using disableDefaultInteractivity. According to the documentation the target for this function can be an Axes, PolarAxes or GeographicAxes Object

However, the function internally does not accept GeographicAxes:

function disableDefaultInteractivity(ax)
%DISABLEDEFAULTINTERACTIVITY turns off default interactivity 
%  DISABLEDEFAULTINTERACTIVITY(AXES) turns off default interactivity on
%  given axes, uiaxes or polaraxes

%   Copyright 2018 The MathWorks, Inc.

narginchk(1,1);
if isa(ax,'matlab.graphics.axis.Axes') || ...
   isa(ax,'matlab.ui.control.UIAxes') || ...
   isa(ax,'matlab.graphics.axis.PolarAxes')

    ax.InteractionContainer.Enabled = 'off';
else
    error(message('MATLAB:graphics:interaction:InvalidInputAxes'));
end

It seems the documentation contradicts the implementation: someone switched GeographicAxes for UIAxes. I can manually avoid this function and call:

myAx = geoaxes;
myAx.InteractionContainer.Enabled = 'off';

but I don't think this is the intended implementation. Either the function or the documentation (or both) should be updated.

Indeed geo axes are listed as accepted axes in the disableDefaultInteractivity r2019b documentation.

Double check that you're using r19b (type ver in the command window) and if that's confirmed, contact tech support and let us know what they say: Contact Us - MATLAB & Simulink

It's definitely supported in r2021a.
