In some cases sure, not all. There's no way Kiwami 1/2 would have been £25 on a cartridge. Bravely default was also a cheap release iirc. There's also the case of R-Type being announced as a keycard and then them changing to cart and putting the price up. Really though releasing on Keycard probably isn't any cheaper than releasing on Blu-ray for PS5/Xbox.
Nintendo should add support for installing from cartridge though you are right. The X360 let you install any game to the internal to speed up load times and it'd be great to see the same here. And yes mandatory installs for the games that really need faster data streaming to work.
"The point about removing X game from the eShop is not talked enough." That's because the ability to download a game you have paid for being taken away has as of yet never happened afaik.
You mention Mario 35 but that was for one f2p and secondly an always online game that they took the servers down for. Games that can be played offline can still be redownload and played even after the title is delisted from the store.
It will happen eventually but who can say when. As of now you can still access your digital libraries from 7th gen consoles.
