Arc from circle - Stroke or Fill
I think it's time to implement the Circle to have sweep/ratio handles to ease with various infographics and artworks. Request is a Circle that can be "cut" to any place to create a stroke only semi circle or arc. Example below.

Well, while Ai doesn’t offer a super-fast 'make the pie into arc' button (and I agree it should have, and upvote this), it still allows to setup anything. Here, I duplicated a circle, made it smaller, selected both, created a live compound shape (Opt/Alt + Pathfinder Subtract — or it could have been a Pathfinder Subtract effects applied to a group) — and then you can control all the parameters separately, just by selecting the object needed.
If you need it to be a path only, to be stroked, with no fill... well, it’s a bit harder. I know Astute Graphics’ Dynamic Shapes ellipse offers this, with their 'Slice Control' (https://docs.astutegraphics.com/vectorscribe/dynamic-shapes)... or I could use their Segment Removal live effect to remove two straight segments live... but this would require these plugins.
