Headsets are necessary for voice chat on consoles because controllers and systems don't have a microphone, thus a device is needed to use VOIP. 

So again we're back to square one 

If you want to use headphones, which 99.99% of people do 

it DOES take two items

You are over-explaining yourself for a point that's bad. 

People don't like using console voice chat like a phone call. 

There's nothing wrong with just adding this in as some little point but writing about it as if it is a huge point against everyone who mentions that the app is an over-complicated solution is nonsense

Yes, it's more fiddly if you want to chat with head phones on Switch due to the lack of any convenient way to combine both game and chat audio output. This is again, something that should be addressed. The point is that many people won't care about using headphones in most situations unless they're out in public. To those people who are playing at home, this setup is fine. Generally speaking, it's a concept that should be more fleshed out if it wants to be more useful.
