"Despite our best efforts, the North American version of Shiren will not include the Rescue, Versus, or Item Transfer online features," Atlus's Aram Jabbari said in the announcement. "However, the downloadable dungeon content from the Japanese version will be included on the disc." Jabbari said that Atlus felt compelled to alert fans because "the absence of these features may influence some fans' decision to purchase the game."
The most identifiable feature of any Shiren game -- repeated, unavoidable death -- should remain intact.

apparently they were too lazy to bother doing it. Either that or someone convinced them people didn't want it.

Or they don't expect to sell enough to support an online component?

The success of Demon's Souls should have taught Atlus the importance of such online features to creating a game's community.
