Only Women Bleed - full version not available digitally?

Apologies if this has been brought up before, I did do a search (although couldn't get advanced search to work) and didn't see anything.
I've been listening to music via Spotify a lot more recently as my iPod has died and my CDs are in storage. I've noticed that "Only Women Bleed" is only available as the 03:30 edit when I was streaming (both on compilations and the Welcome to My Nightmare album). I've just checked the YouTube video on the official Alice Cooper channel and it is the 03:30 version. I've also had a look at the mp3s up on Amazon and Apple Music, and they only have the 03:30 edit listed to buy, even if you're buying WtMN in its entirety. Assuming it's not a listing error, it looks like the full version of the song can't be bought / experienced digitally. As far as I can tell, all physical copies of WtMN still have the full version.
Is this likely to be an error or conscious choice?
