The only reason the game doesn't support the vehicles or traps is because they are toys that can only be read by the skylanders portal, which is nonexistant in the switch version. The figures will be read by the NFC built into the Joy-Cons/Pro Controller. I'd imagine that it would be too much of a headache to make the NFC reader work with the Traps and Vehicles, since they're inheritely different, and honestly a miniscule part of the game, so it's understandable why they won't be making a return. This isn't as big of a deal as people who, frankly don't know about skylanders, are making it out to be. All 300+ Skylanders Figures are playable, so not having vehicles or traps isn't a big deal to a majority of players.
