Linear focus mode

After a few years of using vintage lenses on my Fuji X-E2 and now X Pro2. I thought I’d finally try a modern Fuji lens and decided on the 35 f2 WR, as it should be good for most of my needs and has waterproofing. The one thing that I’ve always disliked about the Fuji lenses is their focus by wire design. But have come across the ability to change the manual focus setting to Linear Manual focus, which would make the lens more like a proper fully manual lens. Problem is I can’t see this option on my X-pro2. I can’t believe Fuji would not include this in a firmware update if newer models have this option. Am I missing something? Is this option only visible in the menu with a Fuji lens attached? I’ve not purchased the 35 f2 yet.
