There is a setting in the SharePoint Admin center > Settings for subsite creation to be disabled. Maybe that is set to "Hide" for your tenant.
Subsite Creation

It is now not recommended to create sub-sites for SharePoint. You should create site collections for all sites going forward, otherwise you will cause yourself issues in the future with the direction Microsoft is going and all the new developments coming out are all root site collection based.

Thanks for the reply. Could you elaborate ?
- Maybe someone else here has some sessions or hard proof, but everytime I turned around, people at Ignite and others were asking about sub sites and Microsoft basically looks down apon them, it's not the direction they want you to go, it's using Comm sites, group sites, etc. all Site collections within themselves going forward in planning etc. and not to use big nested subsites.
This is why they are designing the whole Hub sites feature to bring site collections into a hub similar to sub sites.
