FYI:
Good news, MS has decided to extend PowerPivot to "all" Office licenses:
2018 05 22- Make PowerPivot available in all versions of Excel (UserVoice)
https://excel.uservoice.com/forums/304921-excel-for-windows-desktop-application/suggestions/9018823-make-the-power-bi-family-powerpivot-powerquery?tracking_code=62630fe157971243daf38ddbf0fdbab4

I’m happy to announce that your input has had another direct impact on the product. In this case, a decision has been made to have PowerPivot be available in all Windows editions (“SKUs”) of Excel! This means the Business, Home, Standard, etc.. all of these
will have PowerPivot. As your comments have indicated, PowerPivot has moved from targeting a specialized audience to generally useful capability for working with data in spreadsheets. As such, it makes sense to make this as broadly available as possible.
We have started rolling this change out with the April Current Channel updates (Builds 9330 and beyond). I’m also happy to announce that these SKU changes will be reflected on the upcoming 2019 version as well.
Thank you for pushing for this!

The point is, use UserVoice / Feedback to get your message to MS. There is a tiny chance that they will respond appropriately.
