They're trying to kill physical media. Nintendo managed to figure out a way to add all the inconveniences of physical media to digital only games.

I am surprised that they didn't just do away with it entirely. I don't think it would have hurt their bottom line. This is somehow worse IMO. They'll charge you more money for physical media that doesn't even have the entire game on it. It's like they want people to know that they're being slapped in the face.
