Not in 10+ years when you can't download the rest of the game from the servers because they don't put the whole game on the cartridge anymore. Not to mention patches and DLC aren't on the cartridge either.

They do put the full game on the cartridges, for example I can play TOTK on a new switch with just the cartridge without ever going online.

Did you read this article? It literally says this:

As you can see, the number of Switch 2 titles not on Game-Key Cards is very slim.

The only games that will be fully available on the cartridge are the ones explicitly singled out. There are 10. How is that significant?

The article literally says

All of Nintendo's first-party Switch 2 games have the full game on the Game Card. That includes the $80 launch title Mario Kart World.

We were talking about Nintendo as a game dev.
