why do manufacturers make dvc and svc or even qvc, is it to have more options and cause it to help find more compatible amps?

You can wire the subs paralell to get 2 ohms each then wire them in series together to keep your 2 ohm load on your amp.

you can not wire 2 dual 4 subs into a 2ohm load.... it is either 1 or 4.
