If they shipped it on a cart they probably would have charged €80 for digital and €90 for Physical like MKW. €80/$70 is just standard modern game pricing. It's if they jump to €90 for physical or $80 in the US like MKW that will be something to note. This €80 price is just business as usual this generation.
For Third Party so far:
Cyberpunk: Cartridge
Hitman: Game Key
Streetfighter: Game Key
Bravely Default: Game Key
Yakuza 0: Game Key
Sonic Generations: Game Key
Puyo Puyo Tetris 2: Game Key
Raidou: Game Key
Wild Hearts: Game Key
Daemon x Machina: Game Key
Madden 26: Game Key
Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess: Game Key
Survival Kids: Game Key
Nobunaga's Ambition: Game Key
Shine Post Be Your Idol: Game Key
Suikoden HD: Game Key
AFAIK that's all the titles we know about. 15/16 3rd party titles are not on cartridge. It happened on Switch 1 but not to this extent. Switch 2 cartridge prices must be high for third party to be avoiding them to this extent, and could explain why Nintendo is charging higher for physical than digital in EU.
Not good for storage space though if even if you buy boxed you're gonna have to download all the data onto the internal.

Wait, is that just for certain regions? I’ve been spending a lot of time on Walmart, Best Buy, and Target over the last 48 hours and there are a handful of third-party Switch 2 games that aren’t advertised as game keys: Cyberpunk (which you mentioned), Rune Factory, Story of Seasons, Daemon X Machina, and No Sleep for Kaname.

It's possible there are differences region to region, might be wrongly using box art without the disclaimer too, Amazon US uses box art for No Sleep without the key card disclaimer, but in the title it says it's a key card. My info is from this article: Looks like most Switch 2 third-party physical releases don't have the game on the card | Eurogamer.net
Checked the games you mention in the UK and Daemon X Machina, Story of Seasons and Rune Factory all seem to be on cartridge, but No Sleep is key-card on amazon UK.
