I think they will also revolutionise how digital purchases are done in order to make them more retail and storage friendly i.e NFC cards printed with actual artwork and such.

This is actually a really great Idea. Having a physical NFC activated card that is good for a one time digital use. So that way retail stores still are able to sell "physical" copies of games and do all their usual discount stuff. 

Only issue though is why would anyone buy the card if it only means they go back home and download the game anyways? The card will have to be cheaper somehow or something.

Wouldnt it make more sense for the system without the disk drive to have more storage?

There is hope for the human race yet lol. Was thinking the same thing

Again, not if the disc free SKU is marketed as the "budget" option. 

And in case you don't know, all games are installed onto the HDD currently. Disc or not. Having a 1TB base system without a drive will be the exact same thing as having a 500GB base system back in 2013.

As I said before, companies do these kinda margins tricks all the time.
