I'm curious which images streams you are familiar with where wget does not exist: Looking at desktop manifest it still has wget in the image, same with ubuntu server images and ubuntu minimal images because it's pulled in by other image dependencies like pciutils which exist in most images.
"Ubuntu developers have decided to remove wget from the default install of Ubuntu Server 25.10, in favour of wcurl, which offers similar functionality." - from link So I decide to help Canonical to drop wget totally.
