Sonoma has removed the pstopdf command, as well as the PSNormalizer framework which provides the PostScript interpreter for the OS.
You can still create PS to send to a printer, but there's no support for interpreting PS in the OS anymore. A sad day; though it's been coming for a long time.
Ventura removed Preview's ability to open PS files. CUPS set its default file format as PDF many years ago, and most printers have interpreted PDF natively for years.
If you've got EPS files, then you'll need a third-party app like Affinity Designer or Adobe Illustrator to view them. The old hack of modifying the OS QuickLook generator to view EPS files won't work now either. (And you should probably remove it.)
EPS as a format is unlikely to be deprecated in DTP apps (but never say never...), but I'd recommend converting all EPS files to PDF, which should be a drop-in replacement in any workflow.
