New parental controls unavailable with older Apple Watch SE and iPad

I would like to use the new Parental Control features included with 27.2 update. My phone and kid devices are all updated to 27.2. However, I have an Apple Watch SE and an iPad (8th generation) which Apple decided to no longer support so they are not eligible for the 27.2 upgrade. But I cannot use the new parental control features unless ALL devices on my family account are upgraded to 27.2, including these 2 older devices. But these are my devices and DON’T NEED parental controls.

How can you prevent us from using the enhanced parental controls just because I have a couple of older devices that are fully functioning don’t need replacement.

I’m incredibly frustrated by this bug. Can Apple fix this?
