Just seems annoying.

Are you sure it's actually missing?
I'm on Sierra, and the path to that program is really funny.
Macintosh HD/System/Library/CoreServices/Applications/Network Utility.app

The app is still there in Big Sur, but when you launch it a splash screen comes up stating that the app has been deprecated in BS.

I assume it still works? Anyways, Network Utility is part of a group of utilities Apple moved from the normal Utilities folder several versions ago to that Library location. Perhaps there is a developers note on what they are replacing it with. Otherwise the functions are not too hard to find from other apps.

It's been killed.
They are not replacing it.

To force you to use Unix commands like ifconfig & netstat?
Macintosh HD/System/Library/CoreServices/Applications/Network Utility.app
Still there in Mojave.

Well sure enough, they did remove it. Or "deprecated" it.
Interesting: I found this only by typing it into Spotlight. Discovered that this de-commissioned app now only lives in
HD/System/Library/CoreServices/Applications
... along with a few other weirdo applications.

This is very odd. I am not a network guru, and I still use this utility.
