That's determined by the version of Android it's running, and nothing that can run on an S7 is old enough to show mass storage. You'll get MTP or PTP from now on, until they come up with something new.

You can simulate mass storage if you know Linux well enough. An image of /userdata (the partition) with dd will give you an image that has all the user files. Manipulating that in a Windows computer bypasses all the Linux restrictions, so you can copy any file you like, even if it's normally invisible in the phone.
