Comment:

 Personally I don't really see a need for changing the prefix just because
 some bots try to directly access that URL.

 Note that WordPress automatically redirects `/sitemap.xml` to `/wp-
 sitemap.xml` anyway.

 A filter for the URL / prefix is not really doable as rewrite rules are
 persisted in the database. But you can easily add your own rewrite rules,
 remove the existing ones, and use the `wp_sitemaps_stylesheet_index_url`
 filter to use your own custom URL.
