Well it depends....the mini CD has a capacity of 185MB or something like that. Maybe developers could have more space than a cartridge but it is still really small when comparing it with a ~700MB full size CD. Also the mini CD format was much more available and easy to use when compared with the era of the GameCube disc so Nintendo would still suffer from a lot of piracy by using that format.

But wasn't that also the case for PlayStation discs?

Yeah, but Sony was more focused on making the console well known and good to develop for. Nintendo was a stablished brand and wanted to factor out any kind of piracy for the console. They had a very different approach.
