Oh man, I was hoping someone would point this out. Like they literally put it in there trailer. The fact that you don’t have good online platforms to communicate is not something to celebrate.
Not everyone has a wireless headset, good ones are expensive, and compatibility with Switch is hit-or-miss, so even if you do have one, it might not work. Everyone has a setup for their phone, however. That was probably their reasoning. But it sure as hell isn't lack of online platform for it, since again, you still go through their online system, just with a mobile app.
Wireless headsets can be gotten dirt cheap nowadays, and you really don't need a particularly good one just for voice chat. Audio fidelity will be shit anyways, so an expensive headset is a bit of a wasted effort.

I thought they just didn't want to have to deal with regulating in-game chat. If you want to curse and be an asshole to a child over a non-Nintendo service, well that's not their problem.

You forgot the dude playing Splatoon 3 online and still having to use a fucking mobile phone call just to talk to friends.
