Basically my macbook pro (early 2015) does not have an universal control features but my Macbook Air 2022 has this features. Both computer has been up-to-date. So my question is that why apple has to get rid of the Add Display' feature on my Macbook Air 2022?
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.3
I would like to ask Apple why they didn't add a 'Add Display' feature to Macbook Air (2022). This will allow Macbook Air (2022) to use the old Macbook Pro (early-2015) as a secondary display.
First, you'd have to ask Apple. None of us here work for them.
Second, I told you why as did dialabrain; there is no other device on your network that can host the display. Unless one exists on the network, you won't have any option to add a display. Since you don't have another AirPlay receiver on your network, there isn't an Add Display option. If you add a compatible AirPlay receiver to your Network, then Add Display would be available. Since you don't have a compatible display advertising its services, there is nothing to add.

I'm confused as to which one doesn't work, but you need a 2016 MacBook Pro to use Universal Control.
The MacBook Air would need to "see" another Mac advertising its ability to use UC in order for it to appear in the Displays System Preferences.
Thank you for your reply

However, the Macbook Air (2022) cannot add display to my Macbook Pro (early-2015) because it doesn't has a 'Add Display' feature.

An early 2015 MBP is too old to act as an AirPlay receiver. That's why you don't see it with your MacBook Air.
Why Apple cannot add a 'Add Display' on MacOS Monterey (Macbook Air 2022)
