Why are fewer and fewer Xbox games releasing with physical discs? "We wouldn't be able to make our investment back."

The reality of the Game-Key Carts is that they are the response to the outrage of digital only games not being transferable or resold. With the license on the cart, you can resell "digital" games. There are reasons why devs do digital releases for things in the switch... it wont fit or it's too slow are some big ones. It's not just a new thing, when I bought Skyrim at launch on the PC it came with a disc... which did nothing but link my Steam account and download the game from there. That was way back in 2011, and damn I feel old now.You're not wrong, it's just nuts no one has specifically worked on a method of transferring digital licenses, which seems crazy considering how long steam and such have been around. I know everyone hates Nfts but it's literally made for exactly this kind of thing, verifying and transferable ownership

But now, Microsoft can sell you more storage space, and you don't even own the actual game product. Consider Microsoft's evil intentions. Seriously, they said, "Hey, let's sell $70 games and make even more money by not having to put them on a disk." The customer loses again.
