I mean, you can play together on 2 nearby systems, but i don't expect splitscreen.

Hmm, hopefully "REMOTE Play Together" will work, where only one has to buy the game, and you basically stream it to your friend, and your friend can play that way.
I love that steam has added that function, and I hope this game will use it! :)

Dude, Remote play together is a Opt In feature, every game decides whether they want to support the function or not.

I guess you are new to the gaming industry. See co-op is for people with friends and family. Local co-op and splitscreen co-op are still very much wanted because believe it or not but many people have girlfriends, wives, husbands, kids etc.
Many people don't even purchase co-op games that don't have local co-op. Now remote play isn't perfect but it's still a nice addition.
I would prefer playing this game with my gf in living room on a big TV but if that's not an option (which is absurd because a game like this should have splitscreen) then remote play would at least still let us play together since I have 2 laptops and a PC.

In your world I should buy 2 PCs, 2 monitors and 2 copies of a game if I want to play co-op games with my gf. Doesn't this sound absurd to you?
Remote play and splitscreen co-op are definitely good things.

Google NucleusCoop to help in this dilemma. Notice how well they made OMD2 split-screen.

Yeah, that's the reason I was asking. Probably cause the game was for Stadia we didn't got that local mode. Maybe in the future?

I think LAN should be the first functionality port of call -- given how co-op-centric the game is, and how LAN is only an internal network tweak away.

The reason being, with LAN working, you can 127.0.0.1 the game (provided it allows two instances of the application to run simultaneously), which is effectively split-screen anyway. That, and s/s proper would take re-coding -- something I don't think is so easily done: pretty sure that, over the years, I've read s/s requests for many other games, and any / all dev' responses have been of the "too hard" / "not compatible with source code" ilk.

Having said that, I doubt any other co-op functionality besides online / Steam will be forthcoming. Reason being, it's never been in their games before; OMD3 = OMD2 game engine; the game was made with Google money, which is now gone; RE have many ports to work on, and if consoles don't have split-screen already, it's astronomically unlikely that the game ever will.
