Portrait "blur" setting only available with Google One subscription?

As most of us took advantage of the 10% off Pixel 6 devices with a 2TB Google One subscription, I am looking at the "benefits" page of Google One:

Make each shot stand out with additional Google Photos editing features for Android, now available for Google One members. Features like Portrait Light and Portrait Blur give you more control over how your portraits look.

I find that Portrait mode over-does the blur, and makes the background way too blurry. I am always adjusting the blur in the Photos app to make it not so "fake" looking. However, is this blur setting only available with a Google One subscription?

The "blur" option can be found when you open a photo, tap Edit --> Tools --> Blur

If I'm always modifying the blur, I don't want to be tied to a subscription just for this option.
