LS500h AWD isn't available till early 2022 as per Lexus website.
AWD on the LS500 currently is as such:

COMING SOON: THE LS 500h AWD WITH LEXUS TEAMMATE
Debuting in early 2022 on the LS Hybrid, Lexus Teammate™,* comprising Advanced Drive and Advanced Park, represents the next level of driver convenience and the next leap forward for Lexus vehicles. It's transportation, transformed.
ALL-WHEEL DRIVE
Available on every LS model, full-time all-wheel drive delivers engine power to all four wheels. And a Torsen®* limited-slip center differential efficiently distributes it between the front and rear axles. This helps optimize traction, handling and control in a variety of driving conditions.

I think what they say is coming soon is the 500h with teammate...the 500h has always been offered with AWD.

I had a 2004 v6 version; kept it for a while
Electronic Transfer Case is not the same as what's going on underneath.
Not sure what 4Runner you've had, but many of the 3rd gen 4Runner (96-02) had the multimode system which COULD be run in 4WD on pavement.
4th gen 4runner, the V8's had the full time 4wd system. I believe the V6's of that gen had the multimode, which has the Torsen center diff which could be locked when needed.
5th gen 4runner (current) only the Limited offers a full-time 4wd system, all other trims offer a part time system (similar to what's now being offered on Sequoia)
This Part time system, still electronically controlled, but 4WD High in this case should not be used on pavement.

The four-wheel drive indicator comes on when H4 or L4 mode is selected.
- 1 H2 (high speed position, two-wheel drive)
Use this for normal driving on dry hard-surfaced roads. This position gives
greater economy, quietest ride and least wear. - 2 H4 (high speed position, four-wheel drive)
Use this for driving only on tracks that permit the tires slide, like off-road, icy or snow-covered roads. This position provides greater traction than two-wheel drive.

When I had my 4Runner I was always kind of annoyed that I couldn't just drive in 2WD.

This setup above sounds to be the same as whats in the new Sequoia, 2WD, 4HI and 4LO...

This is what I suggested may be the case with the Sequoia
