This is how OpenPGP smart cards work and I believe it can't be changed.
But from your computer you can "remove" the smart card by stopping
gpg-agent. You can use one of the following commands to stop gpg-agent:
gpgconf --kill gpg-agent
systemctl --user stop gpg-agent.service
The agent process will be started automatically next time it is needed
and smart card must be authenticated again with PIN.
