Most likely because that isn't the main tracing tool for quite some time now, rather Instruments.

Yes, there isn't feature parity per se with DTrace, since when it was an impediment for Apple to replace some set of APIs or tooling?

I'd be less annoyed about this one if they just removed dtrace if they don't want to fix it and replaced it with "echo 'use Instruments'". But that's not the case - dtrace will currently crash your whole system if you try to use it on M2/M3. They also acknowledged it's a bug months ago.
