The --nofetch option has been removed (I can't remember in which version). The --nosave option is basically broken because of behavior of npm we can't control and thus is probably going to be removed in Cordova 10.

The recommendation of the Cordova team is to save your platforms and plugin dependencies to package.json and to not commit your platforms and plugins folders.
