Nintendo is not an internet savvy company. You can tell by how they implement online gaming features like "friend codes" and pushing everything to a phone app for communication (Splatoon).
Should I be the one mentioning that Steam integrated friend codes?
And it's not an old feature...
What's different here is that it's an option and not the only method.
It also actually makes it significantly easier to find someone when their user name happens to be the same as 5000 other people.
It’s the best option though, can’t think of any other method you would want to use
