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

Your quote doesn't say "required." Have you read the descriptions of the Playstation or XBOX apps? They use similar language, and you could assume the same thing

But it isn't under the description of the app. It's under the description for online lobby and voice that. It's the only thing under that section. There's no "in addition to using voice chat on your Switch, you'll be able to use our new mobile app!"

And thats my point too. You can jump in and play random games online on the switch. 

But to fully utilize the switch and for deeper onljne features (and match making is one of these deeper features!!!) you need to have the mobile app which means you need to have a smartphone.
