Give me one technical reason why Nintendo cannot offer a voice chat solution within the console itself. Just one.

Remember there are other video game consoles that are far less capabile than the Switch that already have this feature built into their operating system.

In the console itself?

There's no built in Mic like the Vita/3ds has built into their design.

From a technical point that renders voice chat using the Switch not possible.

You asked for just one... but here have another for free!

You are now thinking.... "but you can plug a headset into the audio port on the console, that has been taken apart and shown to have 4 rings indicating that the system is capable of supporting a mic in that jack"

Now you put your Switch into the dock at your TV....

Where is the Jack? You're holding 2 Joycons... sat on your couch... Where's the mic?

 

What you described doesn't make it not possible , all it means is if you have it docked next to the TV  you may have a limitation in terms of how far away from the TV you could sit , this also depends on whether your using a wired or wireless mic with the length of the  cord being the limitation in regards to a wired mic. with a wireless mic you could just use a usb port.
