Bring back selection tool shapes and straight lasso
Taking these selection tools away has slowed down my work....I REGRET updating!
I used to be able to use the box selection tool to make square and rectangle shaped edits, there was a circle and pointed selection tool AND there was a straight line lasso WHY DID YOU REMOVE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The tools you are describing exist in Photoshop. There were never tools like these in Illustrator, you must be confusing these two apps together.
However, I think Ai could benefit from having circular marquee and polygonal lasso, so please upvote this, if you want to see them developed.

It’s up to you to decided if you want to use them, because both are paid tools.
