In practice, cartridge copies of recently released Switch games tend to be available slightly cheaper than digital copies, owing to competition amongst retailers, so any official discrepancy may do little more than restore parity between the two.
In a world where physical media is clearly on the way out and real ownership with it, I'm willing to pay a small premium to kick that particular can down the road a little, at least if we're talking real, content-complete cartridges. It's more palatable than Microsoft not giving Forza Horizon 5 a physical release at all on PS5, or shipping what are basically Game Key Card discs that require an internet connection to download most of the actual game data, as in the case of Indiana Jones.
