They still live underground, this is right from the book.
Sunlight Sensitivity
You have disadvantage on attack rolls and on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight when you, the target of your attack, or whatever you are trying to perceive is in direct sunlight.
Drow is the only race still having sunlight sensitivity, even Deep Gnomes and Duergar do not have it, while they are even deeper in the underdark, hidden from sunlight for centuries...
It really is a pain, to buy Knaves eye patch (or just use a homebrew version), which only serves the purpose of fixing the forgotten drow sub-class and let drow player have it from the start.
Instead of jumping on the 3D-VTT-Hype-Train, they should fix races and classes first (also the fighter, unable to use Superior Technique at all which was reported years ago). I would also prefere to have subclasses, which are so extremely different to the root class, to now be "Legacy" and have their own class now, esp. if the root class is not in the class name and new players might not connect that sub-class with the root class at 1st.

Is it safe to assume every underdark race is losing Sunlight Sensitivity? It’s weird that they wouldn’t put drow in the book with the others

Based on MMM, yes, that does seem the way Characters are going, but Drow are in the PHB and none of the PHB races were updated in MMM.
