I choose optical discs because they allow for larger capacities and a better sound quality, not to mention you can't lose them as easily as a tiny cartridge. Durability with Blu Ray discs has never been a problem with me and I don't think it should for the rest, unless they want to damage it deliberately with crayons or a pizza slicer. Discs are still cheaper to produce than cartridges, which have been detrimental to some consoles, like the N64. But Switch is doing good, so I'm automatically wrong.

And yeah, cartridges have reached 330TB, but they're tape drives and I don't think something akin to the Commodore's format is making a comeback anytime soon. Whereas 1PB (petabyte) of content has been able to fit inside a disc recently. Both applications which are currently unavailable for videogames, but still, discs are superior.
