Same here, it's off (been off for a while), and I still get the button on the keyboard. Tried toggling it on and off as well, but no luck.

Dictation is still there, or voice recording? I turned off dictation, but can still record voice memos or texts.
Aside: I find the concept of a voice "text" amusing and somewhat redundant with voicemail, though I can see an argument that the use cases are slightly different.
the microphone icon on bottom right. pressing it asks to enable dictation. on bottom left is emoji picker. huge spacing on both, what a stupid waste of precious vertical space
Thank you! That has been bugging me for a long time!

That doesn't hide the keyboard's microphone. While technically dictation is disabled, hitting the microphone asks you if you want to "enable it", or "not now". I need a "never ask me again" option.

I don't have an iDevice so I can't check, but you have to enter a menu entitled 'Enable Dictation' in order to remove the speech-to-text button from the keyboard?

It is an on/off toggle in a list of settings, so it reads like "Enable Dictation: false"
General > Keyboard > Enable Dictation and then disable dictation.
The microphone on the keyboard disappears.
I agree, there are a few little things that are annoying. And I wish iOS was more like Linux, in that you could just change anything if you actually cared to. But personally I rarely run into these edge cases on iOS these days. In the early days jailbreak was mandatory.
