telnet hasn’t shipped with macOS since 10.12 Sierra, ten years ago.

Debian also isn’t shipping telnet in the base install since Debian 11.

Thanks, sounds like a recent development. I don't use macOS, but on other peoples macOS computer it was always there, even when they are not developers. But it could very well be that these computers are ten years old.

I mean technically MS Windows 10 is ten years old, but the big upgrade wave to 10 only happened like 4 years ago, which is quite recently. Maybe that is similar to macOS users, I don't know that.
