I just tried to do this and Apple has obfuscated that there’s even a 16:10 option. You have to click deep into the Displays customization presets menu. They don’t even label the presets with a display ratio and have them labeled with some obscure Apple design lingo (Apple XDR (P3-1600 nits)).

To change it you have to first display the hidden list by enabling a “display resolutions list” toggle.

That is not something a “I love Apple because it just works” person can figure out.

Those presets aren't display ratios, those presets have to do with color profiles, HDR support, etc.
Exactly my point. The setting you’re likely looking for is hidden and a similar one of even more advanced color profile technical options is front and center.
