I guess the thought process behind it is to try something different to see if it's possible to hand over the dummy work of voice app onto the phone so that the Switch can focus on pumping out splatoon at 720p (or close to it) / 60fps on the go, the machine really doesn't have a ton of extra power to be throwing away where there is another option which could be utilised, simple fact is if you are using the switch online outside you likely have a phone tethered to the switch or else connected to the same wifi hotspot you have the switch connected to. So why not make use of the processor in the phone to run that app?

Yes, that's Nintendo's rationale on how to save money by offloading services they don't want to provide on the consumer.
Now the real kicker is: why are there consumers trying to defend that scummy behavior?

Kinda agree with this, Nintendo have a history of skimping on features and basic hardware and offload the cost and hassle on the customer. Such behavior shouldn't be condoned or defended in any way, by any company. This is why I stopped buying phones from Samsung, Sony or Apple, just got tired of all the BS with their phones and software and the insanely priced peripherals and repairs.
