Here’s my thought process: If you care about game preservation/ownership, then having the full game on cart isn’t going to change anything once the physical product degrades to a state of no longer functioning— and these GKCs will almost certainly still be redeemable (as is all digitally owned software on Nintendo systems) for long after the network shuts down. What difference does it make the mechanism which the game is playable?

Honestly, the only people who actually own their games are the ones who have the ISO files saved to the Cloud. There is no such thing as “permanent ownership” of software compatible with your plug-in-and-play gaming hardware.
