I suspect that they do not want to support beta releases, so they don't
make those generally available.  Also, the page you posted is for a fairly
new phone, which I suspect already has the newest BootROM, so that download
would be completely irrelevant.  If you instead looked at the page for a
Polycom Soundpoint 430, for example, you would have found the BootROM, as
this model was released with an earlier version.
