Cannot create sub site from Modern Team site

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
Control whether site owners can create a subsite in a site that includes an Office 365 group. This setting determines whether the option to create a subsite is available on the Site contents page when users click New.
I have the option too...in regards to Christopher comments, while it's true Microsoft seems to favor site collections vs subsites, just remember that the decision of what approach follow should be based on how you envision your Information Architecture. To all my customers I'm proposing to create site collections when we talk about departments or divisions but in some cases you might need to create subsites under your departments or divisions and doing so it's not wrong
And to me, when I see the uncertainty in their(Microsoft) body language etc. when talking about it, I'd rather recommend not too unless necessary to save headache's down the road. Just my opinion. Sometimes your right to get something to work a certain way it might not be an option. They will work, no doubt, but you may not get new features with modern UI future they are developing for. SO that said, if your ok with knowing your sub sites might not get future features, then I suppose it's ok :p.
