Why doesn't MTG Arena have Commander?
MTG Arena doesn't have Commander because it's primarily focused on the more recent sets and standard play formats. Commander, being a format that uses cards from the entire history of Magic, would require a massive amount of older cards to be coded into the game. Plus, the Commander format's multiplayer aspect is another layer of complexity that the current state of Arena isn't designed to handle.

Coding every single MTG card for Arena would be a Herculean task! Not to mention, the UI would need a total overhaul to fit Commander's multiplayer chaos. It's just not feasible right now.
Honestly, they just need to figure it out. Commander is the best format and Arena is missing out big time.
