Like I said, Toby Fox openly cited this segment as an inspiration for Undertale (2015), and that came before the 2022 remake.
Read the rest of the article, they clarify. It is poorly written and misleading, but that's why it's important to correct misinformation now before it spreads.
FWIW, this likely just has to do with backwards compatibility fixes, since S2 is software emulation rather than hardware. I don't think they're likely to go back and intentionally restrict anything on Switch 1 through new firmware updates.

Headline is a bit misleading, you just also need to update Wonder and then you can play offline. Headline makes it sound like this is an always-online requirement.
This is the dev that changed the license a while back from GPL to CC-BY-NC-ND because they got mad about forks.
The kicker here is that the AUR package they're whining about here is based on the last GPL version.
