For anyone still using a Rift S and having this problem, I found a workaround - if you are willing to completely get rid of the Oculus Home/Dash thing.
Get the program from this github and complete the 'Installation' section: https://github.com/BunniKaitlyn/OculusKiller
Then the rest of the instructions are mostly irrelevant or outdated, so all you really need to do is launch SteamVR, right click it and open Settings, then go to the OpenXR tab and set OpenXR Runtime to SteamVR and toggle Meta Plugin Compatibility to On, like in this screenshot:
This allows to play all games straight from Steam without having the Oculus software nag about controllers or bounding box. In some games (like Assetto Corsa with Content Manager) you will have to choose 'OpenVR' as your rendering mode instead of 'Oculus' to make it work. Also tested in Dirt 2.0 and Richard Burns Rally (RSF edition with OpenRBRVR plugin).

Why not do as I suggested to you? You stated:

Start the controller setup.
Set floor height as directed.
Skip guardian setup.
This should take care of it.
You can also remove the batteries from the controllers.
This does not solve it and therefore there should be the option to remove controllers completely and prevent the setup from starting. Oculus will sooner or later ask you again to setup the controllers. Regardless that you have done so before. This experience is frustrating and just amateur programming as if the makers of the headset never used it. Once I set it up it must remember the settings and not randomly forget them. What is even worse, the skip button does nothing. Controller setup will re-open immediately after.

I have the same problem. I believe that the problem is that the programmers never considered that someone might play their games without these controllers. It has to be added to the software or it will never stop.

I have this exact same problem. Sim racer/flyer and whenever I go into iRacing I get the "play area not defined" message. Why doesn't it remember what it was. I literally sit in the same place for all my games. I have tried removing the batteries and I still get the prompts. The only reason I have batteries in the hand controllers is because I need to click the setup prompts. It's really a pain and I wish there were a way to bypass play area setup for people like me and original poster.

That doesn't work; for some reason Oculus looses the setup and asks you to do it again.
To say the least, it's really annoying to loose controls in a game because Oculus is asking you to run setup.

He did. I did also, it doesn't work, because Oculus looses the setup and asks you to run setup again every time you play a game. Not only that, but Oculus asks you to run setup every 30 seconds or so, even after you click "Skip Setup"
Why doesn't oculus include an option to play without controllers; do they not realize it's possible to play without controllers???
