Maybe this is why they’re going so hard on switch emulators this past year. The switch 2 might be built similar enough to the 1 that switch 2 games are already able to be backed up without needing to learn anything new
That’s exactly what I’m thinking as well. When and if it gets confirmed that the cartridge slot is exactly the same (don’t see why it wouldn’t be) and can read Switch carts, that will probably be it.
More than likely though, Switch 2 carts will have a different type of encryption that things like the Mig switch probably won’t be able to read without an update
More likely a physical tab to stop new carts in old consoles. Look at DS vs 3DS carts
History has the tendency to repeat itself. Considering Nintendo does a lot to cut manufacturing costs where possible, that would be cheaper to keep the new carts from working in the original. I bet you’re right on this
