Is describing the remembrance of "Ya Allah" or "Ya Rabb" as a bad or foolish habit considered disbelief, and is "Ya Allah" not a remembrance compared to "Subhan Allah"?

One must repent of this dangerous word and refrain from returning to it, safeguarding the tongue to avoid perils. Saying "Ya Allah" (O Allah) or "Ya Rabb" (O Lord) is a praiseworthy remembrance and religiously desirable, even if there is no immediate need, based on the hadith: "Whoever desires that Allah respond to him during hardship and distress, let him increase his supplications during times of ease."
