It wasn't taken away, page numbers were only added relatively recently. If the book has them, they will display when you tap the menu. If not, then not.
Page numbers are only useful if you are in a book club or something where you need to refer to paper edition page numbers. Locations are much more accurate.
ETA: some ereaders have calculated page numbers that are just made up. So, they don't help if you are referring to a paper edition.
