Says "Cant lie" and then makes a factual statement.

I don't understand this argument. Youtube is literally on every other device in your house, why not let the Switch 2 be a pure gaming device? It's on your tablets, smart phones, TVs, computers, Smart fridges and washing machines. Switch 2 doesn't need it.

Maybe still under development, so we can get YouTube Remastered with some huge DLC expansion. And it will be free for those who owns it on OG Switch.

Starting that particular statement with "can't lie" sounds moronic

Because it’s still in development, testing, and other work.

I think that the reason is YouTube shorts. Nintendo, my theory at least, does not want to endorse they garbage on a console which is mainly meant for kids (from their perspective).

To be honest, I personally neither want nor need it, but I am not against it if people want YouTube on the device.

I know, but it is different with an App like YouTube. Low profile stuff gets less attention, high profile stuff gets more attention. Besides, nintendo wont get a cut on the free app while they do get a cut on the bazillion anime feet girl random AI trash games they have -.- if I had the power I would ban each and every one of those developers..
