It didn't originally, but it had a bluetooth transmitter it was using for the joycons and other controllers. A system update in 2021 added bluetooth audio support. The patch noted that not every headset would work, and microphones won't work at all, but it's there. Go to System Settings -> Bluetooth Audio to use it. I haven't had any problems getting stuff to connect, but I've also only tried pairing two things so that's a tiny sample size. One of those has volume control that successfully sends volume up/down commands to the Switch, the other fails to adjust the volume.

The PS5 also uses bluetooth for its controllers, so they could do the same thing if they wanted.

well that's 4 years too late
