I don't think MacOS has telnet out of the box. I vaguely remember having to go through quite a few hoops to get it. But I am a pretty clueless Mac user, so it was probably mostly my fault.
Yep, macOS doesn't come with telnet. But it seems to always have nc installed at /usr/bin/nc -- and the man page certainly gives the impression that the systems ship that way, since there are a bunch of interesting new options prefixed with "--apple-"
