I'm not sure what you mean by "on default", but it seems unlikely that
anyone could build Wireshark without having to install at least one
dependency.
BSDs usually supply a gmake command for GNU Make. Not sure if it is
installed by default.
Windows could not anyway, and with this dependency macOS X fails as
well. Beside the obvious esoteric options (Solaris, ...) this leaves
CMake as the only viable option for about 95% of all build scenarios.
Is there a technical reason, e.g. something that CMake can't do, to
still support it? I am not speaking out in favor of removal, just
wondering aloud.

Yes.

autotools builds now require GNU Make 4.x; macOS ships with 3.x,
because 4.x is GPLv3.

Either download and install a newer version of GNU Make, or switch
to using CMake rather than autotools.
