In the latest macOS version (Mojave 10.14 Beta) the ntpdate tool has been removed. What I want to do is to simply restart the computer clock using an NTP server:

sudo ntpdate -u pool.ntp.org

Has Apple published the reasoning behind the removal, and have they replaced it with something else?

For whether they've replaced it with something else, it seems they were already phasing it out in previous macOS versions, see How can I tell if my Mac is keeping the clock updated properly? – grg Jul 03 '18 at 05:35

I would say this question, is different from the duplicate.
The current question is asking for a command alternative, while the linked question is asking how to tell if time is updating.

It is possible to use sudo sntp -sS hostname as an alternative to sudo ntpdate -u hostname.
