I think there are two groups of people this bothers a lot:
1. Collectors who like to have game collections that work decades after release.
2. People with slow internet.
GKC are best for people who like to resell their games and don't go digital because of that. I think they solved a real issue with digital that many regular, non-ethusiast gamers had.
I personally have gone digital for third parties and physical for Nintendo this generation. Why? I don't resell my games much these days, but if I do plan to resell Nintendo games retain their value really well.
It is obvious why Nintendo doesn't require third parties to have real card versions for all of their games. It would reduce their third party support, even if the real physical carts had a price hike. I suppose Nintendo could subsidize the cards, but why would they do that?
