Well at least Nintendo themselves still releases full game cartridges and it’s not like you buy a Switch for third party games anyway. Nintendo only introduced the Gamekey card because third party publishers, especially Acti and Ubi, were releasing their own version on Switch 1 and not using consistent packaging labels to tell a gamekey from a full game cartridge apart so probably confused many consumers. Hence why Nintendo created an official version.
Cartridge is alive and well in the Nintendo ecosystem.
A lot of Switch cartridges now only have license keys.

Many are just Game Key Cards.
Which are like Carts, but they need to download digitally. The worst of both worlds :D
Nintendo has its own slew of ethical issues.
Alive, but well?
