It doesn't "require" the phone app. Its an added feature if you want to control a friends list or voice chat, etc. If you just jump on to play a game, then you just do that without the phone app. I'm not even sure how you pulled that it is required out of any of the information that has come out so far.

But why does that option even exist? Everything you can do on the phone is easier and faster done with the Switch itself.

That's like adding an option to play with the Switch while the joycons are heated up to 500°C. It's not mandatory, just an option for people who think having 500°C hot Joycons is more convenient.

I mean it is one way to effectively turn Switch into a DS3. You get a second screen handheld to do certain things while leaving your game screen active. Be playing Z:BoTW and also get some social gaming stuff set up and ready for when you switch to MK8. It has its utility, but it needs to be totally optional with all functions able to be used on the Switch itself.
