I don't know about other programs, but iTerm has a checkbox option to enable/disable ligatures.

So does JetBrains IDE's and VS Code. I don't know of any program that forces you to use ligatures just because the typeface supports it.

Visual Studio (the full blown IDE)

Add to settings.json:

    "editor.fontLigatures": false

(Edit: sorry, just realised you were talking about the full blown Visual Studio, not VSCode)
