PowerShell to Deactivate a Site Feature on All Collections in the Tenant

We have a requirement to disable the SharePoint Online “Open Documents in Client Applications by Default” feature for all sites in the tenant. Here is the PowerShell to disable a feature for all site collections.

#Parameters
$TenantAdminURL = "https://crescent-Admin.sharepoint.com"
#Site Collection feature "Open Documents in Client Applications by Default"
$FeatureId = "8a4b8de2-6fd8-41e9-923c-c7c3c00f8295" 

#Connect to Admin Center
$Cred = Get-Credential
Connect-PnPOnline -Url $TenantAdminURL -Credentials $Cred

#Get All Site collections - Exclude: Seach Center, Mysite Host, App Catalog, Content Type Hub, eDiscovery and Bot Sites
$SitesCollections = Get-PnPTenantSite | Where -Property Template -NotIn ("SRCHCEN#0", "SPSMSITEHOST#0", "APPCATALOG#0", "POINTPUBLISHINGHUB#0", "EDISC#0", "STS#-1")

#Loop through each site collection
ForEach($Site in $SitesCollections)
{
    #Connect to site collection
    Write-host -f Yellow "Trying to Deactivate the feature on site:"$Site.Url    
    $SiteConn = Connect-PnPOnline -Url $Site.Url -Credentials $Cred

    #Get the Feature
    $Feature = Get-PnPFeature -Scope Site -Identity $FeatureId -Connection $SiteConn

    #Check if feature is activated
    If($Feature.DefinitionId -ne $null)
    {
        #Disable site collection feature
        Disable-PnPFeature -Scope Site -Identity $FeatureId -Force -Connection $SiteConn
        Write-host -f Green "`tFeature Deactivated Successfully!"
    }
    Else
    {
        Write-host -f Cyan "`tFeature is not active!"
    }
    Disconnect-PnPOnline -Connection $SiteConn
}
