EA gives a non-answer on why FIFA 18 Switch lacks option to play online with friends

Wondering why you can't play online with friends in FIFA 18 Switch? The guys at Eurogamer were wondering as well, so they asked EA. The response they got gives absolutely no answer.

FIFA 18 on Switch offers Local Seasons allowing friends to play against each other across two consoles in close proximity to one another, and we encourage those looking to compete online to take advantage of online modes on Switch including FIFA Ultimate Team, Online Seasons, and Online Tournaments.

The only thing I can glean from that response is a big, fat, middle finger to Switch fans. I seriously cannot understand this decision, and now EA simply won't answer the question.
