For both of you. Online gaming, online leader boards, Trophys, Freinds List, in game music streaming, up to date rosters/content, this list literaly goes on, and on, and on.

Variety of reasons.

Ppl have tons of devices with constant internet access.... consoles, to phones, to even everyday house appliances. 

There are a lot of benefits to having a constant internet access when required on a handheld device.

Not really for me, since I barely play handhelds to begin with, but I can see why someone would want it. 

Honestly, the only reason I would see the Switch needing constant online would be the option to play online, and even then it's not really necessary. Sure, playing online anywhere would be cool, but it is just as fine to play single player games, or play coop with someone on it. Portables have been fine like this since the beginning, so I don't think it suddenly needs that to be a good system. Also, I don't think because many devices are getting internet access means that consoles need them as well. Perhaps it would be nice, but if it's more of a hinderance to the system, there I don't really see any need for it.
