Is there any software or program which can plot spacetime diagrams which includes worldlines, hyperbolas, etc. given some inputs? If not. Why is there none when spacetime diagrams are very useful?

I have always generated those using a math program like MatLab, Mathematica, MathCAD, etc. If you have one of those programs you can create your own program using the language of one of those programs.
