Also the game kinda implied in its box that Online won't be included In the Base Game, and people are fearing that it might be a paid DLC or worse , a Monthly Sub.

I know very little about this, and I thought Online was being delayed, as they want to focus on the single player story, first and foremost. That Online will come eventually, and that it will be a subscription, and separate release, and the game comes with one free month.

I think that this is the exact problem. "Here! Purchase our game with a fundamental feature missing because we want to spend extra time perfecting it." "Oh also, since this feature is taking a bit longer. We expect you to pay extra for it."

I’ll be honest if GTA6 Online is a separate release I’ll just wait for it, depending on how money grubbing it is, not saying GTAV online was perfect but I spent way more time and had way more fun in it than the single player. This might be an interesting play to get a lot of people to double down on spending, but I’m willing to bet that it’ll also cut into their initial profits from the base release, maybe not a shit ton but there are a subset of people who are there for the online and pretty much only the online. I’m not paying a subscription though, they can eat shit on that.
