You are comparing Switch game cards which are read-only to storage that is rewriteable. It should go without saying that rewriteable space is much more expensive.

There's also another point to add: the prices of cards have *never* been a problem on handheld systems. DS games were cheaper than PS3 games, Vita games cheaper than PS4 games, 3DS games cheaper than Wii U games. But of course, all of a sudden people assume that prices for these cards skyrocketed even though Nintendo and many other publishers are perfectly capable of releasing their games at standard prices. 

Edit: Just to illustrate my point, I got the Binding of Isaac retail version for Switch yesterday. It comes on a card, with a manual and even a bunch of stickers and it was €39.99, just 4 Euro more expensive than the Steam version of the game. Sure, the game is small. But still.
