Put local lan muliplayer on Minecraft for the Nintendo switch

As we all know Minecraft on the switch has local muliplayer to play with other switch user but not with other user like mobile or Xbox or ps4 ,so what I'm saying in general is local lan muliplayer would be amazing feature to add on the switch Port of the game

    THIS! This feature is sorely missing from the Switch version of the game. Give us at least the option to connect to LAN based games that are detected on the local network (including bedrock server games) just like the XBox and PS versions of bedrock edition.

    I own almost all Minecraft Bedrock Editions in all of my platforms. Xbox, Pc, windows and Switch. I wanted to play with my little brother locally via Lan crossplay but it really surprised me that Switch only can do this with another Switch console. Where is the Better Together? I don't want to expend on Xbox Live gold or Switch Online.

    I bought 2 Nintendo Switch consoles for my kids to play together Minecraft safely on Local area network as I don't want them to go online yet. It gives me extra peace of mind when I know they are protected from outside world. But it seems like it is not possible without paying online subscription which I don't want to pay that they cannot go online yet. If I knew that I spend hundreds and they cannot even play together I would have let them ply Minecraft on tablets. Very disappointing :-(
