Why exactly should it be free? Servers aren't free to maintain.

PC gaming has online it for free doesn't it? I can still play Civilization IV online games free of charge.

Honestly the only good thing about this is that it forces Nintendo to make a good online system. Maybe by the end of 9th generation we will have a robust online system.  

I better get my fill of Splatoon 2 before this trial is up. I don;t think I can play online for just one game now.

PC is an open platform and each PC can also function like a server as well negating the need for dedicated servers something consoles can't really do which is why online is free on the platform.
