From where exactly? You do understand Switch 2 cartridges are significantly faster than Switch 1 cartridges so they will cost more. Just as SD Express Cards cost more than regular slower SD Cards. 

Same way you used to be able to buy a 4TB drive for dirt cheap on PS4 because it could use shit ass slow pre-SSD drives. You can't do that anymore, the speed costs money. 

Likely Nintendo is only ordering 64GB sizes because if they start doing other sizes you don't save any money, it may even cost more money for a bespoke size like 16GB or something because that won't be mass produced in enough quantity to likely get the same price. Likely at 64GB, it cuts back on production complexity so Nintendo can get the price possible price at that size. 

These things are not that simple. 

I feel like I've spoken on this several times and the point has been missed. I'm talking cheap/slow cards where the game is installed onto internal storage. Just as discs work in modern gaming. 64Gb micro SD etc can be bought for very cheap. Developers spend no more than $1, Physical fans get a truly functional form of physical media and not a glorified download code.

Is this not essentially a glorified Game Key Card then? 

Like what is the point of this, you can't play the games off that card, so it's essentially a meaningless piece of plastic.

Why would you want to pay even $5 for that versus 75 cents for a Game Key Card cost. That's not $1 anyway. 

If this is the supposed "great option", I can see why Nintendo just passed on this as its stupid. You would just create a problem where people would be asking "why can't I just run the game from the cartridge then? So this is just a fake cartridge then basically?".
