Would it be possible to have my butterfly keyboard replaced with the new scissor keyboard?

I have a MacBook Pro 13 (2018 model) and I was wondering if the new keyboard would be compatible with the previous models and if Apple would be willing to do a replacement for full price of the repair.

If you want a non-butterfly keyboard then you will need to purchase a laptop without the butterfly keyboard. AFAIK only the MBPro 16" and the MBPro 13" (2020) models have the non-butterfly keyboards.


Edit: The MBAir 2020 also has keyboard with the scissor mechanism.
