It's technically possible to tweak pro such that it's mostly the same thing, but LTSC comes that way out of the box, fully supported by Microsoft, and that's not going to change because they don't want to lose these lucrative enterprise customers.

(also hoping some new update doesn't re-enable what you thought you disabled)
Pro with a decrapifier script like the one you can find on Spiceworks will work a lot better, and allow you to run UWP games too.
Apparently the minimum for getting a VL agreement is 5 licenses, and the other 4 can be padded out with cheap/filler licenses. https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/2167558-explicit-inst...
