The reason it was done in the past was to make up for lacking hardware. 

 

Right, and here we are again. But if Nintendo wants to upgrade Switch's power for a game, they could potentially add more hardwear to a Switch cartridge. It might be bigger and stick out the top but it would work.

No, they can't if Switch doesn't already have some interface which supports such hardware upgrades. SNES cartridge slot for example was designed in such way that it could work as a bus for additional chips (like FX), N64 already had a slot for RAM upgrade, etc. If Switch doesn't have something like that than no way it can be upgraded. But to be honest, it has USB Type-C which can be used as a connector for some additional device
