Hi jsasani, and Happy Workday to you.
I was really curious about this post for I had thought the response was noted without an email as well.
Here is what I learned and tested.

This issue has been communicated to MS since 2017. It appears that it does not work when Outlook Windows is used. I tested and confirmed it.
Then I tested in Outlook for the Web, I discovered that the Do Not Send a Response is not an option. See the image below.
Many Outlook users and including me, agree with you. This feature has created a lot of confusion and more email handling. And, hopefully, Microsoft agrees with you too.
Have a good day.

Thanks for your response! From Outlook for Web there is a way to turn off the email (just slide the toggle for "Email organizer"), but even when I turn off the email response the organizer still sees that I've accepted or rejected the meeting. So that's great! Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Sounds like it's best to use the Web version in this case.
