My understanding of `reftex-ref-style-alist' being a custom variable is
that you can toggle the keys for the reference macros if you want to.
The reference styles get activated:
a) in RefTeX without AUCTeX: If you add an entry to
`reftex-ref-style-default-list'
,----[ C-h v reftex-ref-style-default-list RET ]
| reftex-ref-style-default-list is a variable defined in ‘reftex-vars.el’.
|
| Its value is ("Default")
|
| List of reference styles to be activated by default.
| The order is significant and controls the order in which macros
| can be cycled in the buffer for selecting a label. The entries
| in the list have to match the respective reference style names
| used in the variable ‘reftex-ref-style-alist’.
`----
b) in AUCTeX: When you have set `LaTeX-reftex-ref-style-auto-activate'
to t.
So deleting an entry in `reftex-ref-style-alist' isn't intended to
prevent a reference style from being activated.

Re-adding the entry is due to supporting older Emacs'en. The entry for
"AMSmath" was not present as the variable was introduced[1]. That entry
was added in 2018 and amsmath.el tries to fill the gap.
I think the bottom line is set `LaTeX-reftex-ref-style-auto-activate' to
nil if you don't want AUCTeX to activate that reference style.
,----[ C-h v LaTeX-reftex-ref-style-auto-activate RET ]
| LaTeX-reftex-ref-style-auto-activate is a variable defined in ‘tex-style.el’.
|
| Its value is t
|
| Whether to activate automatically RefTeX reference styles.
