@clickdigitalinteractive , thank for you report.
Check this documentation
http://docs.magento.com/m2/ce/user_guide/catalog/product-create-configurable.html
A configurable product allows the shopper to choose options from drop-down, multiple select, visual swatch and text swatch input types. Each option is actually a separate, simple product. We add label feature request

Thank you for your submission.

We recently made some changes to the way we process GitHub submissions to more quickly identify and respond to core code issues.

Feature Requests and Improvements should now be submitted to the new Magento 2 Feature Requests and Improvements forum (see details here).

We are closing this GitHub ticket and have moved your request to the new forum.

For anyone who desperately needs this functionality, I've written a module that makes it possible: https://github.com/crankycyclops/Crankycyclops_ConfigurableProduct

The code needs more testing, and it isn't currently installable via composer. For now, I've provided this as a proof of concept only (but you should be able to copy it over to your Magento installation without too many issues.)

Testing was done on Magento 2.2.6.

The issue is still present. My store has only configurable products which contain downloadable products and the link is not sent in the confirmation email. Please, reopen the issue.

Still present in 2.4.3-p2.
