I guess they never considered adding voice chat with a 'mute player' option. |
Well they did say that the reason there's no voice chat is because it would give an advantage for those utilizing it fully versus those who are not. In addition, it would give an advantage to people who have played shooters in the past versus those who are new to the genre. I imagine in Japan there exist many players who have not played many shooters, if at all.

We want everyone to play this game from the same point, so that all players – those who haven't played shooters before, as well as those who have – can enjoy the game. Getting to this though meant going through a selection process for all features that should appear in the game, and as part of this process we decided to leave out voice chat.
We think there are two reasons for wanting to use it: to play strategically, and to know what you opponent is feeling. We designed the game so that it's still possible to play strategically, while also giving due consideration so that there is no extreme advantage one way or the other. In terms of knowing what your opponent is feeling, we really do understand the fun that can be had with this, but we hope that you will also understand that it can also have a negative effect too.

They wanted all players to play on the same level: no voice chat for anyone in other words. In this regard, a mute function would not help in leveling the playing field.
