This is possibly true. They could just abandon the idea and keep whatever version of online play is in Switch now.

It definitely needs wireless headset support and ability to remain active in background.

Or we could just wait for the app to be fully functional...

They clearly released it now because they wanted to push the Splatoon companion service without having to integrate it later. All the missing features or functions will probably added via updates in the months preceding the official launch of the service.

See, that is where I have to disagree. As someone who works in software and launches new functionality all the time, I have to say this approach is not smart. First impressions are everything. Nintendo should not luanch this until its ready. Simple as that. 

In software we do launch sometimes with what we consider the MVP of a product. i.e. not fully functional, but the core functionality that still represents a high-quality product and then continue to add new features as they are finished. 

For this app, the MVP should not be something that promotes negative reactions to the application. The support for wireless headsets and being able to be active in background should be part of MVP.
