Switch online requires Phone App? Why is no one talking about this?

I don't know many 6/7/8 year olds with their own phone. This can also easily show the parent who their kid is playing with/communicating with, because most parents are not going to turn on the game console and go through the menus and do all that. 

So added feature?

No I think this is the only way to do it. This way a 7-year-old can't randomly get online with a Switch and start chatting or getting communication from someone they shouldn't be without their parents knowing it.
