I'm confused about ADM. I recently got Apple Music and have been happily matching a lot of my previously-owned albums; many of these are available in Apple Music/iTunes as ADM, and my matched, downloadable files from Apple feature the ADM badge—on desktop, at least. On mobile, I have no idea what kind of files I'm re-downloading, because on the album pages I'm not seeing the ADM logo anywhere. Whereas I'm seeing options for Lossless and sometimes even Hi-Res lossless.

So I'm confused: on desktop I can see the ADM logo for these albums, but when I go to mobile, the ADM logo is nowhere to be found. Is ADM just not supported on mobile for tracks that were matched, rather than downloaded from Apple Music/bought from iTunes? The bottom line is that I'd like to actually own copies of these albums in ADM... but it feels kind of pointless if I can't re-download them when I want. Would really appreciate any insight into this. Thanks.
