I love nintendo, but they are one of the worst companies to their consumers....

For putting a high performance card slot in their console? Literally don't use it then

I honestly think it's fantastic. It's really only available on high end cameras right now, but putting it into a mass market device like a switch means they'll become more commonly used in other devices since manufacturers won't need to worry about users having the newer faster cards in hand already.

Someone needed to be the first mover so that everyone else can start putting these in other devices.

Yes, but using a standard external storage format is not why. Xbox uses a completely bespoke proprietary card that only approved vendors can use. This is just more expensive, which is basically how technology works now.

In one important way they are consumer friendly in terms of keeping physical media alive. I doubt PS6 will have a disc drive and M$ have already confirmed any new consoles from them won't.

Even these proposed "game key" carts can presumably be traded or sold so it isn't like a single use key for the online store.
