Just to be fair, the Nintendo Switch 2 does support "Game Key Card" games. Such that you still must download the game and use the card to authenticate your game.
However there are zero first party* Nintendo games that are "Game Key Card" games. If you buy Mario or Zelda you do get the game on the card.
I do expect that will change in the future and follow the trend Sony is taking to be 100% digital. So you're right to be concerned that they are heading in the same direction.in fact with Sony already heading that direction it's even more certain.
*(Pokemon, which feels like a first party and Nintendo owns a large portion of, is technically third party.)
