WPF project on .NET 8 missing 'Add Service Reference' from the 'Connected Services' menu

I have a WPF running on .NET 8.0. I understand that MS in their infinite wisdom have neglected VB developers when it comes to .NET core, but this is not .NET core. I have seen a similar thread here that points to the issue with core.

According to the MS documentation adding a service reference has now moved from directly under solution explorer to Add > Connected Services and selecting 'Add Service Reference' - but only 'Service Dependencies' are available.
