I know, but its a completely different genre and not really the same game anymore. GTA Online is not just a different game mode, its a different game that runs. It had its own monetization and updates. GTA Online is basically its own game trapped in the main menu of GTA 5, like a launcher that bundles multiple games from the same series into one. That’s why I believe the next iteration will be separated. Rockstar didn’t even mention the online part yet.
GTA Online started as the multiplayer component of GTA V, so when it launched in 2013, you had to own GTA V to play it.
