This is the type of thing that 5 years from now will be trivia.

"Did you know? For just over 3 months, Nintendo Online allowed it's users to stream music? It's true! Starting in late October, and continueing into January 2025, you could listen to dozens of Nintendo music. Then Nintendo disconinued the service for.....no reason."

I agree, but with a much longer time window.

5 years from now the headline will be "Nintendo sunsetting music service" with the top comment being "What service?".

The apps are already built and will require very little maintenance. Since it's a "value add" it doesn't need many users to convince Nintendo to keep it turned on.
