Even 3DS cards couldn't save DLC. To enable cards to be overwritten with patches and DLC would require the cards to be rewritable, which would make them way more expensive than the read-only cards Nintendo has been using in their portables.

well yer but this is 2017 tech improves. think outside the square. it would have been a selling point for gamers.

Yeah, "tech improves", but that doesn't change the fact that rewriteable cards are a lot more expensive then read-only cards. Implementing your idea would mean increasing the cost of producing Switch game cards, which means physical games would be more expensive for consumers to purchase.
