Can I use my iTunes balance to send an app or movie as a gift?

I have unsuccessfully tried to figure it out on my own twice now. Is it possible to use my existing iTunes balance to gift an app, show, or movie to a family or friend? If not, why?

You cannot.


How App Store and iTunes Store purchases are billed - https://support.apple.com/HT201359

- You can’t charge gifts to your Apple ID balance. If you send a gift or gift card, your primary payment method is charged.
