I think the BBC could set that up if they wanted but for some reason have decided not to at this stage.

Hopefully by that point some form of 720p 25fps stream will have been added to the encoding job but who knows. Can Apple devices cope with HVF streams as they are HLS-based? Is there a 720p 25fps HDS stream created by USP?
