I'm sure they've looked at other options in creating games in other ways like SD cards or the disk-like structure like the PSP, but it probably wasn't feasible or didn't feel like it worked for them in regards to the Switch (since the games are being placed in a tablet with all the infrastructure inside the console).

I think you might be giving Nintendo a little too much credit. I think it's more likely that Nintendo didn't think developers would really need such large cartridges so soon or at all, and if they did, the'd be willing to pay for them. I'm not saying that other solutions such as using SD cards for cartridges are even remotely feasible, but there's no way Nintendo ddin't know when designing the Switch how much these cartridges in such a large capacity would cost, and decided to go with it anyways.

That's why there's R&D, right?
