Apple has been taking the good bits from iOS and moving them to macOS. Deprecating software update in favour of the App Store and changing how the OS is downloaded seems to be one of these cases. I personally see that as a bad change for macOS -- the app store is really not very good, and it's very slow and clunky at downloading and installing system updates. The old built-in Software Update was much more reliable. By "slow and clunky" I mean it'll tell you it has an update, but opening the app first shows you a page of ads for the latest apps that you don't need right now. Then when you click on the "updates" tab, you get the old spinning beach ball for an inordinate amount of time before it finally tells you what updates are available. Often it'll just be a massive iTunes update that requires you to quit Safari(!?!) before installing. iOS doesn't use the app store for system updates (did it ever?) -- it's in Settings, which I think makes sense. It would be a good course correction if macOS were to do the same. (edit: typos)
