I just ordered the cartridges of "Steins;Gate Zero" and "Root Letter" for £17 (~ €20) each, the PS4 versions on Blu-rays are still higher priced:

I'm sure that supply and demand are much more important for the price setting (and later price reductions) than the production costs.
Due to the sparse selection so far, there is a high demand for new Switch titles and publishers are trying to take advantage of that. If many of the Switch buyers let them get away with the price increase, it won't change and Switch versions of multiplatform games will stay more expensive than the other versions.
