Where is it written that a smartphone is a requirement for the switch anyway?

So far, what is known, we have not enough information.

Ok, guess we should all just bury our heads in the sands.

Links to nintendos official site discussion the online features of the switch has been in this thread multiple times. Thats whre its written.

In this link where nintendo officially describes the switch online features, it has TWO categories. One talks about online which allows you get into random online matches from your Switch and the other talks about an online app to be released later in the year that would take care of the "higher" online features like inviting frinds, creating parties, lobbies, voice chat...etc. 

Don't take my word for it though, go to the site and take it directly from nintendo.

How clear does a company need to be?

No, you know what? I just wait and see what will be delivered at the end. I am not jumping the gun. I just wait and see and decide when we will have all the information on the online services.
