At first I thought this is about letting random users transcribe 2 voice messages a week.
That would have been very weird and uncomfortable, but this limitation makes me think that the messages are uploaded to a transcription service.
If it would be run by Telegram, that’s not really a problem as they already have access to the message contents, but if it’s through a 3rd party… how can I disable this for anyone for my messages?
Also, I expect this limitation to later be eased for premium users.
Not really. It’s limited to two per week.

You got it wrong.
See the linked post. Transcription has been available for premium users for a while now.
Now free users get two per week too.
