Why Are Game-Key Cards So Controversial?

As far back as last gen there are PS4/XBO games where the disc doesn't contain the full game and you need to download the game to play it.

But those are a verry small % of games. Compared to almost ALL switch2 games.

That's simply because (1) back then physical was a bigger share of sales and digital was smaller, while sales have shifted to digital since, and (b) cos a game card is more expensive to manufacture than a disc.

It's not "almost all" Switch 2 games that are key cards either, as being a modern system many titles are actually just digital anyway, like say Silksong.
