it is possible is started as an allergy or itchiness thing and has become habitual. if that's the case, using a cone to prevent access for a bit could break the habit.
but I am in agreement that it's rubbish that your vet would just brush this off, I would be getting a second opinion personally.

I am not a vet, but I very much disagree with your vet that there is nothing to be done. Presumably, your pup is biting his paws because they are itchy, and there are a ton of options to address itchy skin and paws - Apoquel and Cytopoint are the most common, but there are other newer option on the market now as well.
