I think when it was announced, there were some leaks that said these Game Key Cards would be the Switch 1 version of the game, along with a code to upgrade to the Switch 2 version. This would basically prevent you from selling it again. This was quickly refuted, but people still like to shit on Nintendo, so they don't care.

Then you also have people complaining that games on other consoles don't come with the game (not even pre-patch version or something) anymore, like Doom: The Dark Ages, just a few MB of data for authentication or something and the rest you have to download. Switch now does basically the same, and it "only" has 256GB storage, plus the microSD Express card. But the games are also smaller, so I don't know if it's like you can only fit a few big titles on there (or one Call of Duty), and then you're outta space.

I haven't got very many gigantic third party titles, but nearly my entire Switch library (46 games) fits on the internal storage with 25 GB to spare.
