This is a feature, not a bug. The idea is to continue to devalue the Pro version of Windows so that business has to pay for the more expensive Enterprise to get rid of all the crapware via LTSB or just being able to use a version that will respect the 'disable store' GPO setting. Worse, there's no upgrade path from OEM Pro to Enterprise Volume. So you're paying for Windows twice, once via the OEM Pro license you'll never use and another by buying Enterprise. This product is a another way to devalue the old SKUs by introducing yet another premium priced product. Cant reply below so adding my comment here: That path doesn't exist for volume. There is no OEM to Volume path and guess what every business uses: Volume. > Dell and Lenovo and HP have standard agreements to put Home on every PC, youre not paying for an individual OEM license. The cost per OEM license of windows was reported to be $40-$80 depending on edition. That is baked into the cost of the computer you buy from them. You're not getting it for 'free' the same way you aren't getting leather seats for free because you bought the LT model of a car. You're paying for that too.
