While this is technically true, your chances of getting it to work are
very slim.
If you have a need for an MSI, my best suggestion right now is to take
one of our distributions (the package at
https://www.nuget.org/packages/python is likely easiest) and use a tool
to generate one from that. We require additional maintainers if we are
going to maintain more distribution mechanisms.
If your organisation is running Windows 10, you can use SCCM to deploy
the Store package as well. Depending on your precise needs, that may be
an option too.

This is essentially how the web-based installer works. Those msi files
map quite nicely to individual options of the exe wrapper, so it
shouldn’t be too difficult to figure out what you need (or you can just
read the CPython source).
I assume existing versions are guaranteed to work as long as python.org
works (otherwise the web-based installer would cease to work), but
there’s likely no compatibility guarantees for future releases.

Correct. The installer technology used for the python.org builds
changed some time ago (I think Python 3.4 was the last version to use
an MSI installer).

versions of Python do NOT have an MSI download. We use SCCM for

program.
