I don'teven get the issue withmodern gaming... i see it as just a phase we have to go through and a way to nabale the kinda experincs we have right now. With a little understanding of tech it all makes sense.
Disc drives are the best and most cost effective way to distribute games as large as HD gaming has become. And disc drives have an nherent flaw, slow read speeds so there is a need to have internal drives that have faster read speeds. Every console having such an internal drive allows devs add DLC to add longevity to their games, but the downside to that is that it also allows them release games "unfinished" with day one patches available.
By the next gen, when we have moved on from standard mechanical drives to SSDs which will add a lot of speed to data transfers.... we will also at least have a much smoother al round gaming experince. I think the pros of the current set up far outweigh the cons.
Nintendo is always behind the curve on things lke these, a gen behind so to speak. At some point, they will be able to make 50GB carts at whatever it cost them now to make their 16GB carts and at that time their hardware will be pushing games with content on par with what we have now on the PS4/XB1.... but by then the PS4 and XB1. And at that time, be rest assured nintendo fans won't have a problem with big game sizes and what not.
