Since paper checks coming or going to the IRS were supposed to disappear with the new Big Ugly Tax Bill, I'm assuming that Intuit won't even give you the option in 2025 returns.  Or is that a bad assumption?

If I understand your issue correctly:

If the federal is a refund and you want it e-deposited by checking the box, then the state, IF A REFUND, should also be e-deposited? Yes, it does last time I looked. That's the default; however,

the problem arises when federal is tax due and state is tax due. E-paying fed does NOT check the box for e-paying state.

In addition, if one tax is due and one tax is refund, YOU MUST MANUALLY CHECK THE STATE BOX FOR WHICHEVER IS YOUR REQUESTED ACTION.
