The Descreen control in Import > "Image from device" has dissappeard.  It used to allow for different levels of Descreening. It was very effective. Did Adobe remove that function?

Image Capture is a MacOS program and is called up by Photoshop on the Import > Image from Device command. Adobe has nothing to do with it. Example: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/251238517

It's in the scan tab of Printers and Devices. Descreen options do not show up in MacOS 12 either. Why not is best answered by Apple support or your Printer Support. They should have drivers with that feature.

 

Photoshop offers descreen tools. This may help: https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-discussions/is-there-an-offical-plugin-that-will-descreen-halftone-photos/m-p/14528961

gener7 is correct. The command File > Import > Images from Device opens the macOS scanning module.

 

The scanning window that appears when you choose the command is the same as what comes up in other Mac applications, although it’s called different things (see table below). As long as you are in that window, you are in Apple software, so if you saw Descreen in that window, it was an Apple feature. After the macOS scanning module completes the scan, it passes the scan to the application.

In the application… Open the built-in macOS scanning app by choosing the command…
Adobe Photoshop File > Import > Images from Device
Apple Preview File > Import from [name of connected scanner]
Pixelmator Pro File > Import
Affinity Photo File > Acquire Image
GraphicConverter File > Scan > Scan with Image Capture

 

So the actual question is “Why did Apple remove the Descreen feature?”

Got it thanks. If it's not Adobe it's Apple, if it's not Apple it's some other mega corp that does stupid things like removing usefull features or adding useless ones or not fixing perpetually annoying little glitches.
