Unsurprising move. People should’ve moved them elsewhere.
Only thing surprising is that it took this long for it to happen. Everyone else knew that there would be immediate forks made but seems they took a month to catch up to speed with the internet.
Nintendo is not an internet savvy company. You can tell by how they implement online gaming features like “friend codes” and pushing everything to a phone app for communication (Splatoon).
I think it’s by design, not because they’re stupid. They saw those forks right away and decided to let them get settled in and comfortable, and then removed them. Knowing that the hammer will come down eventually is really demoralizing. Knowing it’ll come down right away means you can test the waters and see how it goes without much personal investment.

Should I be the one mentioning that Steam integrated friend codes?
And it’s not an old feature…
What’s different here is that it’s an option and not the only method.
It also actually makes it significantly easier to find someone when their user name happens to be the same as 5000 other people.
It’s the best option though, can’t think of any other method you would want to use
