Switch 2 should have used PS5 strategy regarding physical media

There is no technical reason why Nintendo cannot allow the use of cheaper Switch 1 carts for Switch 2 media.

Developers can then use the media to install to internal storage if speed is an issue.

It all comes down to Nintendo's policies.

Even Switch 1 carts weren't cheap though; throughout the system's life, the 32GB card was only used a handful of times cos of cost, with devs opting instead to use 16GB cards or smaller with mandatory installs.

It's only expensive because it uses more durable XtraROM.

But, that doesn't have to be the case.
