Seems that it's still missing for some users in my tenant and some users have this setting...

Edit: Did some digging, on their computers the option doesn't show up but if they login to my laptop(which isn't domain connected), this option shows up... We are running the latest Office build aswell as teams 🙂

Are there any additional requriements ?

Same here, some users (M365 Prem) have and some don't have the option for setting 'Desktop App' as Default. I myself on my main PC (.26376), do not - on other devices, I do get the option - so device dependant.
