Last time I looked this didn't have networking. Is that still the case?

Anyone able to explain why networking was left out?

Why I ask? I've seen a bunch of projects on GitHub for implementing xv6 networking.

Probably because it has a lab to add networking: https://pdos.csail.mit.edu/6.828/2019/labs/net.html

The course has a networking lab. There should be a branch with basic support, and an exercise to extend it.
