It does. "In previous releases of Nmap, -sn was known as -sP." https://linux.die.net/man/1/nmap

This is correct. -sn (No port scan) This option tells Nmap not to do a port scan after host discovery, and only print out the available hosts that responded to the host discovery probes. This is often known as a “ping scan”
