because solid state technology has become much closer in cost to optical media in the past 10 years, back whent he nintendo 64 was running its course games where at least 20 dollars more expensive than thier ps1 counterparts and they held a fraction of the storage space (650 MB per cheap disk vs 64MB tops per expensive cart) but since then rom prices have gotten far, far lower and storage capacity far far higher
Even though solid state technology will never touch optical media on a per piece bases, the difference has become less consequential, Ask yourself 10 years ago if you wanted to back up or move data on a hard drive physically, you probably burnt several cds, today you probably use solid state like a sd card since you can get several GBs of storage for a reasonable price
