Yeah, fuck the costs for hardware, electricity, installation / configuration, and maintenance. Screw those service contracts no company needs. We demand everything for FREE! And make sure it works for 80+ million potential customers. While you are at it, I want my virtual console games for free! I paid for them already on the Wii. I don't care what it takes to make them work on the Switch. Just give them to me.

Tell me what's wrong about it. 

Are you forgetting Nintendo already got their money from every single game they sell? Games that sells EXACTLY because of the online multiplayer

Online multiplayer is the reason behind of the sales of so many of its IPs. Remove multiplayer from Splatoon that I doubt it would move over 2 million copies 

Ans then what Nintendo does? Charge an additional fee for people to enjoy how the games were supposed to be played in first place 

This is a much worse practice than DLC or microtransactions 

Games have development costs that need covering they can't cover the cost of maintaining servers especially as development costs grow each gen while needing to provide money for future projects.
