Split Screen ( a dying practice?)

Are this the same people though?

Split screen is a social feature. Just look at Youtube playthroughs of partners playing Baldur's Gate 3 together in split-screen. It is a different thing to online play.

I am sure there are a small minority that use it, however, Online has replaced Split Screen. It's just a superior and more convenient way of playing MP games.

Arguing otherwise is like saying broad games are superior to video games because it doesn't rely on electricity. 

You have a weird concept of superior. I didn't say superior, I said different. Your board game example is perfect. Neither board games nor vcideo games are superior, they are different for different use cases. Board games will not be pushed out because of video games, as they target a different experience. And I am for instance playing sometimes video games, sometimes board games and it is both fun, but different fun.

So online play also isn't superior, it is just different - as I said in my post ("It is a different thing to online play"). Online hasn't and can't replace split screen, as it is a completely different experience. That's why Baldur's Gate 3 supports both: online play and split screen, as Larian clearly know that they cannot replace each other.
