Seems to me like japanese players understand that voice chat is much, much, much less important for a game like Splatoon and therefore don't feel the need to shit on it just for the sake of shitting on it. The west seems to want voice chat just to have it, but not to use it anyway. This is called a hygiene factor according to Frederick Herzberg, look it up. Japanese players also may not be as irrational as westerners in regards to jumping the gun. They might simply trust Nintendo more and have faith in them. Like they feel that Nintendo knows what they're doing.
