Nintendo won't allow voice chat because the game is aimed first at kids and they don't want bad language or the possibility of kids interacting with nefarious personalities.

That's all there is to it.

This argument went out the window the minute Nintendo published Bayonetta 2. You no longer have the right to 'protect the kids' after having a dominatrix be one of your mascots.

She isn't one of their mascots, that's just one of the token 1-3 violent games per generation that Nintendo will publish in the middle of their usual Disney-styled titles that gets minimal marketing and a low print run at retail. 

Nintendo keeps Miiverse under an extremely tightly moderated lock and key and they shut down Swap Note entirely for example, voice chat in Splatoon was never going to happen. They don't allow it in Mario Kart either.
