Because it took me hours to find the problem, I am posting this solution to my own answer so it will save someone else this work.

In short you have to change the major version of the IIS via the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\InetStp\MajorVersion to 9 during installation and then back to 10 afterwards.

I found the downloads at the bottom for 2.1 work without any registry hacks: https://www.iis.net/downloads/microsoft/url-rewrite

I would prefer this as an option you can select from the roles, but who knows...

Link: Microsoft URL Rewrite Module 2.0 for IIS (x64)

After installing it you will notice a new icon in IIS for URL Rewrite: enter image description here

and you will be able to use rewrite tag in your web.config

Solution 7 - Windows

Use Web Platform Installer in IIS.
Find for "URL Rewrite".
When installation window appears, in the bottom of it find the link "Options".
In "Change Options" window find "Which Web Server would you like to use?" and select the right version. In my case it's "IIS".
If you don't have such option and install it from the link https://www.iis.net/downloads/microsoft/url-rewrite
Then restart IIS service. In my case worked IISRESET command in CMD with Admin rights.
Works like a charm! IIS Screenshot. URL Rewrite installation.

Solution 8 - Windows

In case, after installing IIS URL Rewrite 2.1, URL Rewrite option is still not visible at IIS Manager, check Jalpa Panchal's answer URL Rewrite not visible in IIS10.
