This argument from the start is stupid and based on fallacy. There is no "necessitated dev time" taken away from anything to go toward something like PvP. The only differentiating factor is the fact that this was the FIRST mainline Pokemon game to deviate from the norm in a very substantial way. If it were the same gameplay philosophy as something like SwSh without the gameplay changes and still omitting multiplayer, there would be no praise or acknowledgement. The fact that there are no multiplayer battles != why the game is different.
