Can anyone use host-only networking at all?

Try as I might, I cannot get the virtual network to show up in System Preferences (MacOS). This used to work just fine in Yosemite (and probably some more recent versions but I don't recall at the moment).

Does anyone have any suggestions? The "Connect Mac to this network" check box doesn't appear to do anything.
 
Update: I managed to create a NetworkService for bridge101 (the host-only bridge). I seem to remember this is as far as I could get last time I tried to get this to work.

The issue is while I can ping the VM and in the UI set the VM as the router, for whatever reason MacOS can't access the VM's internet. netstat -nr shows the proper gateway.

If I run windows in another VM I can use the prior VM's internet no problem via host-only networking. Seems like a Mac-side issue. I don't know what else to try.
 
Hello,
Unfortunately, this option won't work on Mac computers with Apple silicon or on Mac computers with Intel processors having macOS Ventura or newer running as a host operating system due to the peculiarities of the kextless network.

What peculiarities? You're not really explaining anything, nor referring/linking to anything I can look up. What is preventing MacOS from using a VM as a gateway? It has no difficulty pinging the machine.

Also, despite the fact I have authored a KEXT back in the day, I don't know what you mean by "kextless network".
