Hi,
There's currently no way to limit that kind of thing with VMware Workstation (Pro or Player).
You'll have to ask VMware on why they remove features. They don't always tell us why they do something 
The only solution I see is to use another product. If you want to stay with VMware then look into vSphere and perhaps VMware Horizon. But of course those are completely different products and it means running VM's on a remote server, not locally.
