Now this right here could be an example of a neat function of the app thing.  If you could invite people to be spectators via the App even if they aren't playing.  And if that app could then be used to stream, then you could be a spectator and share videos and images of the match from your phone without being in the game at all or even near your system. 

If I'm understanding correctly, only 2 can be spectators. On one hand, it's pretty cool they made it that way for commentators and streamers, it's specially beneficial for the Splatoon competitive scene. On the other hand, it's pretty lame it's only 2 people, rather than, I don't know, all friends? A limit of 100? 1000 people?

It's great overall, but if it is only 2, it would feel like an odd choice.

Maybe the phone app could connect to Twitch so you could stream for everyone and the spectator mode is just an easy way to get the stream up and running... Why do we not know anything about this? The Switch is releasing in 20 days!!!

I didn't say it was perfect but on another hand, if they have a built in stream service with that video button later on, then the two people could serve as hosts of 2 different perspectives.
