Back to objectivity.
Switch cartridges are far more expensive to produce than stuff like Blu-Ray discs, and they only get more expensive the higher capacity they are. According to the Switch 2 Direct, Switch 2 cartridges have a higher data transfer rate, so they might be even more expensive.

"Game-key" cartridges are a thing now, replacing the empty cases with download codes that plagued the Switch 1. While they still require a download, they're also able to be resold and returned.
And they're far more cheaper, since all they have is the license.
I think the game prices make sense. However, I also think they're very overpriced. And yes, these statements can coexist.
The new MicroSD cards aren't a proprietary thing - any device can use them, like USB 3.0. You can plug a USB 3.0 hard drive into a Win95 PC if you want, like how you can put a MicroSD Express card into a Steam Deck if you want.
