I suspect you are right.
I feel like Microsoft is intentionally blocking any advanced network features from properly working in client operating systems.
If they keep up their strong arm tactics hurting their users, it's probably only a matter of time before someone more unhinged than I decides to firebomb them.
Pro editions of Windows used to be what you bought if you were a power-user, and needed some or all of the enterprise features at home, now it appears they are not only not offering these features, but blocking others from offering them as well, which leaves individual power users with no options in the Windows family, since they famously don't offer Enterprise/LTSB editions of Windows 10 to end users. (I'd buy it in a heart beat if I could)
As I see it there is only one option left, and that is switching over to Linux. Sure keep a Windows 10 dual boot install around, just in case, but it's not worth getting the Pro version anymore. There is nothing Pro left in it.
