Didn’t Nintendo already start doing this with the switch two?

The opposite, with Switch1 there were a bunch of games where third parties cheaped out and just put a code in a box. Switch2 added game-key cards to replace the code-in-a-box with a license dongle in the shape of a cart. It still requires the eshop to download the game, but it’s not tied to an account, it’s tied to the card, which can be resold or lent out. Solves a few of the issues with digital while doing nothing for preservation.
