If I want a hotseat I'll eat from the Indian take-away a day before.

No. The middle finger is called Civ World.

That is one of the reasons it took so long.

Apparently, they thought that hotseat, PBEM, and PB are not needed at all and their crooked MP will be sufficient. Now they realize they were wrong and are trying to right that.
That's all true, but the problem with imbalances remain. Now this isn't that different from Civ III where we started MP on this forum games with AI and after a while the MP evolved to no AI/extra rules concerning DoW as it's too imbalanced in it's out of the box state. Same for AI and CS in Civ V. Play no AI, no CS and MP can be ok I presume.

Why, because the efforts are going there instead of ciV or because it is bad or both?

At least the first, likely the second as well.
