So, it's not really canon.

I think it makes a certain amount of sense that any werewolf who can find that equilibrium between wolf and human, can sort of separate them in their mind, should be capable of more fully shifting. Maybe that's just me?

That's not just you. It's how I've been looking at it. I don't remember them ever telling us that only alphas can do it, and this was retcon. Our only experiences with it happened to be alphas when we learnt they could do it, but as the saying goes, it takes three to make a pattern. Based in the two we had, we could've also said that only woman can turn into full wolves. Lol.

I can, however, believe it is more likely for an alpha to be able to find that inner balance because they have to keep it together themselves and keep their pack together. Everybody learns differently, so them investigating other methods to teach their betas could give them extra tools and knowledge needed to find that true balance.
