It's just having another variety of play or another variety to spectate and watch, and I've more or less found myself more interested in watching other people play the game than play it myself these days.
Now I don't know if there are limitations, bandwidth costs or whatever that would make it very difficult to implement this?
But had the staff here at Dueling Network, all the programmers, etc. ever considered implementing support for either of the Team Dueling formats before? There are actually TWO variants of this. One for the TCG and one for the OCG. The OCG seems to be less complex since the entire field itself is shared between 4 players rather than the TCG version which every player gets their own individual fields.
I only presume they either didn't want to attempt it because of difficulty, time it takes to implement it and potential amount of bandwidth costs involved, so maybe that is why it still has not happened at this time. Maybe I'm right about this? Maybe I'm wrong?
And I think it's best as an Unrated format for experimental and testing purposes if it's ever considered, maybe like a beta testing version. Just to not complicate things with the rated formats that are already currently available here.
In case nobody is aware the "Tag" Team 2 players/duelists VS 2 2players/duelist format had been acknowledged and recognized by Konami back in August of 2013:

Although it's probably obsolete and old now and banlists up to that point would be most relevant as the Master Rules had been updated more than once since 2013. All the more reason why I said an Unrated format just for experimental and testing purposes.
The one below is the OCG variant or version of the Team Dueling format, and I think this one would be more appropriate and up to date as it seems to support up till the Pendulum stuff and probably easier to program compared to the TCG version:
The original link for the OCG variant seemed to be gone, but it's still archived here: https://web.archive.org/web/20150912160133/http://www.yugioh-card.com/japan/howto/tagduel.php
Because the original source for the OCG is all in Japanese so a complete English translation is provided below from yugioh wikia:
