By the same logic, just because you are combating piracy doesn't mean you can take away the ownership from your customers, much less do it whenever you want. Not just because of ethical concerns, but because they'd be opening themselves to a boatload of financial and legal troubles. There's going to be hell to pay if they decide to implement this, no decent consumer protection law is going to allow that.

You do something illegal with a thing you bought, you lose that thing. You rob a store with a knife you bought, the police will take away your knife. Im not sure why gamers should be above that law. Just dont steal games and you will be fine.

It's only "illegal" if it's been tested in front of a court of law.

We are "trusting" Nintendo to do the right thing here and abide by the law.
However I am legally allowed to make modifications to my console, so if Nintendo bricks my console (Note: I haven't modded it, just stating hypotheticals), then Nintendo has broken the law.

Physical games are over, people just need to get over it. Nintendo honestly shouldn't even be offering this, physical games on a portable platform is stupid at this point. PS6 will not have physical games, neither will whatever the next XBox (PC in a box) is.

Not over. Just on it's last legs.

I won't buy a console if it doesn't have Physical.

Nintendo is just stuck catering to this shrinking market because some parents must have a physical copy of a game for birthday/holiday gifts and Japan being a "trade in your game after a week" culture, but ultimately that's not going to sustain physical games and people are going to have to move on.

Is it actually a shrinking market though? Because the Switch has been Nintendo's biggest software pusher, setting all kinds of records for the company.

Physical games are just not feasible in the modern industry, when you can have a digital copy that is free of any shipping/packaging + retailer cut fee that alone right there is like $15 cheaper. 

Except the Digital costs aren't cheaper for the consumer.
In-fact, games have been trending upwards in price.

And the tidbit? Many developers/publishers in recent years have been constantly breaking records on copies sold and making record profits, these companies aren't struggling financially where they need to ditch physical.
