If there really is no way to communicate outside of the app, they are telling parents to get their kids cell phones or tablets to make full use of their console. If that ends up being the case, that's indeed dumb on Nintendo's part and a huge oversight.

But I'll wait until we have more details/confirmation before going all negative about all this. Personally, it doesn't affect me, since I always have my phone next to me. But for my son, and other parents, that will be a problem.
