I may or may not have been if I didn't expect this. I legit suspect that the announcement made last year was a last minute idea they had, complete with a title screen, for the purpose of showing off to 1) pad their time, and 2) gauge people's reaction to it. So it was barely, if even that, in pre-production at the time, and we'll be a while before we see anything of Prime 4.

To be fair to Nintendo, they said years ago that they no longer wanted to use E3 as a vehicle for their big game announcements, choosing instead to host their own Nintendo directs as they please for game news. So an absence of MP4 doesn't mean we won't glimpse it sometime this year.

For what it's worth, one of the Nintendo reps. interviewed simply said they didn't think it was a good enough state to show yet. While normally that might agree with your guess that they are still pretty early in development, this being Nintendo, that answer could honestly mean anything.
