It is pretty weird. The whole createinstallmedia deal is also odd. That felt like a temporary hack and apparently, they're sticking to it. It feels like a corporate left-hand-right-hand conflict between "we don't really want to expose those internals" and "actually, if we hide them, that makes life hard for IT/support/dev folks".

That said!

On a Mac where you have the beta profile installed, you could try running `softwareupdate --list-full-installers`. This gives me the 11.5 beta and not Monterey, but that might be simply because my Mac is too old to run it.

If it does list 12.0, you could then try `softwareupdate --fetch-full-installer --full-installer-version 12.0`.
