Refer to Use your iMac as a display with target display mode - Apple Support.
Target display mode is a feature available with certain older Mac models.

Thank you for the quick response. A feature is not possible as its too new? wait what? 😂 Do you know if this is an intentional design or a massive oversight? seems very strange that older Macs can do what new ones can't 🤔
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities.
Sorry, it is not possible. Your MacBook Pro and iMac are too new.
