How is it stretching it? Just tell me this. Can you say with 100% certainty at this point that people are going to buy their Nintendo Switches online on March 3rd, take their console home, hook it up, and play a game with their friend three states over?
Because I can't say that. In fact I'd reckon most of your certainty comes from your believing it's unfathomable for Nintendo to launch a console in 2017 without any semblance of online play from day one. I personally don't trust Nintendo that much.

Have you shown yourself to be positive about anything regarding the Switch?
Why do you doubt that there will be any online functionality ready for launch in the first place? Wasn't there online functionality from day one for the Wii U? Why would that be different here, when even their website states that it will be available in March, the Switch' launch month?

Why do I doubt that there will be any online functionality? Because it's Nintendo. This is the same company that has sold and continues to sell Nintendo 3DSs without a power cord in the box. This is the same company that made a console that was so expensive to produce that it only recieved one price cut in its five years on the market. This would a very Nintendo thing to do, and should be a surprise to absolutely no one if the Switch launches without the ability to play with each other online.
