Offloading the voice chat functionality to our mobile devices frees up additional processing power on the Switch to allow for slightly better performance in our games.

Personally, I almost never use voice chat, but I think Nintendo made a smart move with this one.

Voice chat isn't demanding.
The Xbox 360 could do it within an Operating System that was only using 32MB of Ram verses the Switch's 1024MB.
The Xbox 360 could do it with a CPU that was significantly inferior. (And didn't have an entire CPU core dedicated to OS/Background tasks.)

There really is no technical excuse why the Switch cannot have voice chat.
