If we look at Rol's summary thread we can see that users on here purchase 19% of first party titles digitally, but 72% of third party titles digitally. This is the reason third-party, (mainly the smaller filesize titles) are so high on the eshop. These high digital sales don't translate over to the bigger AAA 3rd party games like Wolfenstein 2.
It's also worth noting that 4 of those games in the top 10 do not have physical releases, and Megaman's physical release requires Legacy Collection 2 download so that may contribute to people ignoring physical and going for digital instead.

It still shows people are willing to try/buy a more diverse offering of Switch software, we've also seen from Nintendo's reports that many of these games are selling very well like Hollow Knight. There have been spikes for things like FIFA on the eShop and Octopath has done really well there too.

I don't think anyone has questioned the sale of indie games though. When people say third party games aren't selling well, they are generally referring to Western AAA games. Not Indies or Japanese titles. Small digital titles do very well on the Switch.
