Rotate screen option in macOS Monterey?

I used to be able to rotate my MacBook Pro's retina screen in Big Sur by holding ⌥+⌘ > System Preferences > Display > Rotate. It appears this is no longer an option for the native MacBook Pro retina screen, but it is an option for external displays only. Is there something I'm missing, or is this no longer an option in macOS Monterey? Any help is appreciated!

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.0

Changing that option to "Main display", "Extended display", or even "Mirror for Built-in Retina display" doesn't show the option to rotate the screen on the Retina display.

The above image is the window that is shown when my Built-In Retina display is selected. The image below shows the rotation option when my external display is selected.

Wouldn't you want to reverse the option "Use as"...to get the preference to show(?)
