Its probably just old stock. You will have no option but to move to DV, as the PSTN network is closing down.

If this is a new package, then DV is the only option now.

This was explained on your last thread https://community.bt.com/t5/BT-Fibre-broadband/fttp-and-copper-phone-line/m-p/2251510

Why does it matter how it is delivered?

i am vulnerable so cannot afford to lose my phone line.

With DV, your line simply moves from the wall socket, to the socket on the back of the Smart Hub 2. If you are concerned about power cuts, then that can be solved by a UPS which keeps the Smart Hub 2 powered up. It has to happen, as in the future, there will not be any phone equipment working in the exchange.
