@Rob Pearson, Thanks for posting in Q&A. Based as I know, this is a built in policy which will be applied to all the enrolled device automatically. Currently, there's' no option to exclude it. I notice the devices are assigned with primary user. We can increase the value of "Compliance status validity period (days)" in compliance policy setting to avoid the issue.
Hope the above information can help.
