Apple offers that to all customers who open up an enterprise account and direct billing line
Downgrades are not supported by Apple Business Manager MDM and there's no reference to downgrades on the Enterprise page, https://www.apple.com/business/enterprise/
By definition you will have access to things Apple wont publish or support at subsidized rates below the fully loaded hourly cost of a senior engineer.
Because you will be paying the full unsubsidized rate for any support needed for features not available to the mass market.
Its like how IBM will gladly send a team of senior engineers to help enterprise clients resolve every last possible request.
Edit: As compared to mass market features, where the economics dont work unless they’re close to 100% certain most users wont require any costly support.
