oh I just hadn’t thought of that! I am very embarrassed, this seems like a very unfair strategy indeed.
That explains why I couldn’t find any example of “you cut I choose” where the first player was choosing. Anything I can think of to counter this strategy would just make the game more complicated
Play continues with Reversed Armageddon, where White wins ties.
I think this would work so long as Player 1 is capable of making a bad enough first move to cancel out White’s huge advantage from both going first and winning draws. (And ideally there would be more than one move that’s about that bad, so that the opening doesn’t always start the same way.)

Does this work?
Player 1 makes a move for White.
Player 2 has option to switch colors
Black player makes a move
White player has option to switch colors
Play continues with White’s 2nd move as normal Armageddon.
Or more simply:
Player 1 makes a move for White.
Player 2 has the option to switch colors.
Play continues with Reversed Armageddon, where White wins ties.
