My understanding with Splatoon 2, is that it saves online progression locally to the system as opposed to an online server, which is how basically every other online game saves online progression. So basically, in Splatoon 2, cloud saves would make it easier to cheat. I'm not 100 percent sure on this, but read something to that effect when skimming a few different articles.

Right I believe that is true. So what other games are like that? Mario Kart? Mario Aces? It would be strange if only Splatoon 2 was designed that way. So I'm worried more games will be designed that way. Which in turn makes more games without save files.

Well, for now, it looks like those other games are good to go. If Kart and Aces had the same problem, it likely would be known.
