Yes, they could've included a mic, but they didn't (not sure why though), so this is what they have. A headset is only prefered by hardcore gamers due to it allowing for private communication. Nintendo doesn't target hardcore gamers the way Sony and Microsoft do though, so everything they do must involve the casual gamer, which means finding a method to appeal to them, thus open mic through phone. And again, most people who've used the app say it actually works well is way more intuitive than they thought. It's again, not the most perfectly implemented method, but it works and is easy to setup. BTW, the battery draining issues have been fixed in later updates as the app can now run in the background, even with the phone locked.
