Maybe because your OS is upgraded?
I am still on Mojave, weird why would they remove it?

I have that option in Catalina but I don't trust Apple making my PDF's if you've ever seen how saving a PDF from the print dialog or saving them from Preview can destroy them.

Yes... if you do this with nothing open, you can sort multiple pdfs before creation. It also sort of flight checks them to confirm that they are sympatico.
"There's been a lot of research recently on how hard it is to dislodge an impression once it's been implanted in someone's mind. (This is why political attack ads don't have to be true to be effective. The other side can point out their inaccuracies, but the voter's mind privileges the memory of the original accusation, which was juicier than any counterargument ever could be.)"
