"Forms for Excel" - Install Web Add-ins for Organization

Question

When trying to create a form with Microsoft Forms [https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/create-a-form-with-microsoft-forms-4ffb64cc-7d5d-402f-b82e-b1d49418fd9d#PickTab=OneDrive_for_work_or_school] using ODFB (or Excel on the web), there is no FORMS FOR EXCEL option.

What users expect to see is this:

When trying to get to the "Office Add-ins" in Excel on the web, users see this:

Users are licensed for both Office365 & Forms (G5). I've found some references that indicate that there may be a need to deploy "Web Add-ins" to the SPO app library, but these aren't custom add-ins... simply native Microsoft functionality.

Can anyone offer suggestions about WHAT needs to be added/enabled within our tenant and WHERE - in order to make "Forms for Excel" available to users?
