Attempting Ortho Mapping Workspace with PlanetScope Satellite Imagery to Create DEM

Hello, I am working on my dissertation and using ArcGIS Pro 3.5. I am attempting to create a DEM with a stereo pair of satellite images from PlanetScope. I am attempting to follow this workflow from ESRI to generate a DEM by following the Ortho Mapping Workspace (Link: https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/data/imagery/ortho-mapping-in-arcgis-pro.htm & https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/data/imagery/generate-elevation-data-using-the-dems-wizard.htm). However, whenever I am creating a new workspace, I am unable to select PlanetScope as the sensor type under image collection (I have included a screenshot of the drop-down list of sensors below). ESRI does list PlanetScope as one of the sensors under the Satellite Sensor Raster Types (Link: https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/data/imagery/satellite-sensor-raster-types.htm#ESRI_SECTION1_946A2AD0F0254B50ABB6DB91AF9110F6).

Is there a way to utilize the Ortho Mapping Workspace to create a DEM with using satellite images from PlanetScope? I am trying to create a DEM for my dissertation using PlanetScope Satellite Imagery, so any insight or help would be greatly appreciated!

It seems Orthomapping workspace has only 40 raster types [EX: PlanetScope not available]. In comparison, when adding rasters to a mosaic dataset, there are 90 raster types are available [EX: PlanetScope available].
