I cannot figure out what configuration profile we could possibly have that is removing the ability to go into Focus Assist Settings.
This entire blade is missing from all of our devices Settings panel: https://learn-attachment.microsoft.com/api/attachments/37c97399-27ff-42c6-b928-5a8ee6a4eb8c?platform=QnA
Setting up and managing device configurations using Intune

I found the issue "Gaming" was set to Block under "Control Panel And Settings"
This disabled the "Focus Assist" blade in "Settings"

@AH_MHCD , Thanks for sharing the solution, I appreciate it. It can help others who has the same issue.
This is not the solution, this just shows WHY this happens, solution is provided below
Actual solution to this problem comes here:
If you use Device Restriction policy to Block Gaming, it sets hide:quietmomentsgame in “Settings page visibility” as well, this is what blocks Focus Assist.
If you use setting catalog instead, and configure Page Visibility List to this value:
hide:gaming-gamebar;gaming-gamedvr;gaming-broadcasting;gaming-gamemode;gaming-trueplay;gaming-xboxnetworking
You get the result you want. Gaming is hidden in Settings App, and Focus Assist still works.

Exact. Thanks for the tip.
With this, games settings are not visible.
More informations are here : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/client-management/mdm/policy-csp-Settings?WT.mc_id=Portal-fx#settings-pagevisibilitylist
For information, the user can't go to game settings but he can still run xbox game bar for example.
I confirm the solution of AHMHCD-4895. Thank you for sharing.
I made a user voice for this. You can vote. ;-)

Blocking "Game stuff" should not disable Focus Assist in settings.
