GT-BE98 dual wan with iptv vid

New Around Here
Is there an option to enable Dual WAN with IPTV on the GT-BE98? It works without any problems on the AX88U Pro, but I don't know why they disabled it on the BE98. Is there a workaround? I need this for a PPPoE connection with a VLAN ID (VID) and also need the Dual WAN option. Why can't a top-tier ASUS router do this, while less powerful models handle it easily?

On my AX88U, I use Merlin firmware 3004_388.8_4, and the Dual WAN option works with both IPTV and VID enabled simultaneously. When I configure the same settings on a BE98 (running the latest firmware), I get a message that IPTV will be disabled. The result is that enabling Dual WAN disables the IPTV settings. Similarly, if Dual WAN is enabled and I enable IPTV, it disables Dual WAN.

It's a good thing I haven't switched to firmware 3006_102.4_0 on my AX88 Pro yet, because I'm afraid a similar problem might appear. In any case, I don't understand why this is happening. This limitation has really saddened me.
Is there a way to bypass this? I could put a suitable managed switch before the BE98 router, but that's just another unnecessary device.
