Yeah, ripgrep is "a grep," not an awk. I'm not sure how they wound up being conflated here. ripgrep does have a `-r/--replace` flag which is somewhat of a generalization of grep's `-o/--only-matching` flag (and also part of ack, I believe) by permitting sub-capture expansion that probably does replace awk for the "pulling out a field from a line" use case you mentioned. But it's pretty awkward for simple cases. e.g., I'd much rather use `blah | awk '{print $2}'` to get the second field delimited by arbitrary whitespace.
