It shouldn't be. Because Arms puts you in like a room of players. You will never be alone.

Nintendo hires people to play the game when there is not enough people to fill a lobby in a given area?
That is what it would take to ensure a game like ARMS can reliably be played online.
ARMS didn't sell that well.

Now that pool of available players is going to be reduced considerably.
Anecdotally: many people bought the game, and either didn't play it much, or have stopped playing it.
Given the entire ARMS player-base aren't in one region.
It is unlikely that there will be enough people in countries like Australia, to reliably fill a room.
ARMS matches will either be very hard to find, and/or between people who aren't in the same region.
A large distance between players, leads to high ping, which leads to a worse overall user experience.
(Assuming you can find a match)

i dont see why it should be harder to find player. the average player probably want to play Mario Tennis, or Smash, or Splatoon anyway, not just ARMS, so they will probably get the online service to play all those games. and if they only play ARMS, why they should not take the service and stop playing th eonly game they play ?
I dont understand all the hate for Nitendo right now. Since day 1 Nintendo had announced paid online services. but back then it was the same price, without cloud saves, and with only 1 free NES game per month, now we get 20, with more added, and cloud save but for the same price !
