Civilization VI team says there are no plans to add in online multiplayer for the Switch version

As it stands right now, Civilization VI on Switch lets up to 4 players cooperate or compete via wireless LAN play. Multiplayer content is there, but online multiplayer isn't a thing. Could that option be heading to the Switch version? According to the team behind the game, there are currently no plans to add in that feature, so multiplayer is going to remain a local affair. At least we still get the DLC packs!
