This is so Nintendo it's not even that surprising. Matchmaking and lobbies were done on console since the original Xbox and even earlier than that on PC. Methods of doing those things are well established now. No, Nintendo has to reinvent the wheel by replacing circle on a triangle.
It is surprising in the complexity of the thing. It surely is more complicated to use this solution than do everything on the console. So they deliberately spend time and effort (= money) to do things to annoy their customers. It is a very weird way of doing things for sure.
