5 hours is a short campaign even for shooters that is short it serves nothing more than to school the player, whats the point of another campaign? To sell the appeal of adding Octolings to the game not to mention the announcement they have planned in June.

No games having more modes doesn't make them more appealing by default in many cases it makes things more convoluted an appealing package is something that works overall as a product not a mish mash of modes that's flawed thinking you're using there more modes is not what appeals to consumers do you see Elder Scrolls or Fallout adding multiplayer modes and such? No you know why these games are not geared towards it, has their appeal grown as time goes on? Yes because they built on what they focused on which was open world single player rather than chasing after other parts of the market another series has on lock down. 

Again, around 5-6 hours is not very short single player campaign for online focused game, it would be for single player focused game. You can scholl player in 10-15 min tutorial, you don't need 5-6 hours full singleplayer campaign for that. They can sell Octolings without another single player campaign. Reality is that they just want to make Splatoon 2 more appealing for single player players also despite game is online multiplayer focused.

MP4 can easily have solid online multiplayer mod and keep focused on singleplayer, similar like Splatoon is online multiplayer focused game but also has single player content. Also, becuase paid online Nintendo could force online multiplayer for MP4.

When the likes of COD hav 7-8 hours and its considered short then 5 hours falls into the same boat no two ways about, you can school players in many ways it still doesn't debunk that the single player is mainly for players to get acquainted with the unique mechanics.

Splatoon's single player is nothing to write home about so it having a single player doesn't really help your point especially as the vast majority of player don't bother with it right now your argument hinges on a what if scenario that Prime 4 can have both on equal level historically games in recent times have not managed that with the higher demands of development it's not as easily achieved as you say for a start Prime's design doesn't translate to MP well.
