Yep. It's only available in certain releases. The
ubuntu-support-status was one of the files provided by the
update-manager-core package:

https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=update-manager-core

You can click each release name in the package list on that page and
then click the "list of files" link in each of the results to see
which of those packages comes with it. After clicking around, here's
a quick summary:

The ubuntu-support-status file came with the update-manager-core
package in these releases:
	* Xenial Xerus (16.04 LTS)
	* Bionic Beaver (18.04 LTS)
	* Eoan Ermine (19.04)

The ubuntu-support-status file is no longer available, but the
ubuntu-security-status file now comes with the update-manager-core
package in these releases:
	* Focal Fossa (20.04 LTS)
	* Groovy Gorilla (20.10)

Either of those commands will give you some details about the status
of your packages.

In Xenial, Bionic, and Eoan, this command gives a summary, but no
details:

ubuntu-support-status

There's no man page, but running the command with the --help option
shows a list of command line options that can be used with it to
display various types of detail.

In Focal and Groovy, this command just gives a summary:

ubuntu-security-status

There's no man page, but running the command with the --help option
shows a brief list of command line options that can be used with it.
Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a way to get a list of
package names with this new command.

There is no spoon.
