We've always had Syncsort. I don't remember DFSORT being an optional feature for my z/OS 2.1 Serverpac. Does DFSORT live entirely in SYS1.LPA and SYS1.LINKLIB(SYS1.SIEALNKE)?
We are further on the path of downsizing the z/OS based services. In about a year, they plan is continue to run for static retrieval of old data. DFSORT is included in our MFaaS agreement. Syncsort is extra expense. We'll likely take a "plug compatible" risk jump when our current Syncsort contract runs out.
