Because internal storage with immensely increased speed and digital only titles will be the norm after discs and there's no sense in switching to a format that would be both costly to produce and need heavy modification as opposed to a disc that already holds up to 200GB, not to mention the tandem production/distribution with movies that still makes discs useful outside of gaming and causes production costs to sink further?
I believe that's why no one uses cartridges.

Do you mean SSDs?

I love SSDs, but yet I think compared to the 90's for example, due to most games being so damn big loading times today are significantly longer, aren't they?

SSD right now, but the next step will bring speeds like that of RAM-disc, which would mean faster than most standard busses could handle. As digital becomes the norm across all platforms and games keep increasing in size, as will storage solutions evolve. There's also the prospect of game streaming, or at least asset streaming, which would alleviate the need somewhat.
