Managing the add-on with the integration causes more confusion/harm then good so we decided to remove it.
Most important reasoning is that the starting point for Music Assistant is to install the add-on first and next step is automate your music with Home Assistant. So we should push for installing the addon first, configure it (ensure playback works) and after that folks can do the HA integration.
While working on the config flow anyways, this will also move the Assistant options to the options flow only.
