wait...all it needed was a software upgrade?! I assumed this needed a hardware addition. Just a software upgrade, why the hell did it take them so many years??? I mean better late than never but that's ridiculous.

Stay calm lol

It is a hardware and performance issue, the Switch's Bluetooth bandwidth is used for controllers, they had to drop 6 controller connections to get wireless audio to work, no bandwidth left for a mic as well, considering what Nintendo wanted for the Switch, to be a home console as well as portable with local-multiplayer being a big focus, so the number of controllers available is extremely important to them, now late in its cycle they are giving some the choice to gimp the number of controllers for wireless audio 

No other current gaming console uses Bluetooth headsets for a host of hardware/performance reasons
