I keep seeing this word convenience being thrown around but it's like, how inconvenient is physical anyway? I mean, if two people are in a room on a couch, and there are two Switches docked under the TV... how much faster is the digital owner going to be able to get into their game than the physical owner? A minute? Thirty seconds? Because surely, it takes no more than that to pop in a game and sit back down.

Sure, that’s one instance but even with that logic it’s thirty seconds that I never had to spend obtaining or searching for that game.

It could also mean traveling and only worrying about the console and not the dozens of cartridges I would have been carrying with me.

It could also mean less risks of losing cartridges by me or by my kids.

It could also mean I’m a lazy person.

Convenience is subjective and digital works for me now.

Time and age forced me to realize those thirty seconds matter now to me than ever before.

Time and age actually had the opposite effect on me. I use to rush as well, trying to squeeze in as much as possible. But then it was like, what for? At some point, it just didn't matter to me anymore. 

But to your point about gaming on the go, I would agree there. I forgot about the Switch being portable. Console gaming, yeah. You're not saving much time. But portable? Who the heck wants to lug around five carts with them everywhere they go? lol
