No Helvetica? Why not delete Times New Roman or any other immensely widely-used font just to be consistent?
Provide access to Helvetica/Helvetica Neue

It's really up to Monotype to be willing to make some sort of deal with Adobe to add any version of Helvetica to the Adobe Fonts service.
Monotype owns the rights to Helvetica and Helvetica Neue since they acquired Linotype in 2006. Monotype has acquired a multitude of other type companies as well. Monotype released Helvetica Now in 2019 (and a variable version in 2021). Monotype has its own fonts subscription service. While Monotype has 41 type families available in the Adobe Fonts service they have an incentive to make some of their most popular typefaces available exclusively in their own font subscription service.
