Yes, this is the problem with buying digital games on consoles.
If the game is on sale for a ridiculous price, then okay, go ahead. I paid $3 for the digital version of Yooka Laylee Impossible Lair recently, and I don't give a fuck if Nintendo makes the game unavailable in 10 years or something (the game's terrible by the way). But things change when you start spending $80 on a fucking game.
In the case of Switch 2, it's even more dangerous because ~85% of all physical games will also become unavailable eventually because they're digital.
And we're not just talking about Nintendo stopping offering downloads (which it will), but there's also the hardware problem. Switch 1 will stop being manufactured soon. From that moment on, every Switch 1 on the planet will start to age, and as soon as yours fails, you'll lose access to downloads even if Nintendo still leaves the links up. You depend on a product that is no longer manufactured to access the digital data you purchased, which is a joke. It would be like games purchased on a PC on GOG couldn't be downloaded on another PC, and you had to keep that old, obsolete PC running so you wouldn't lose access to the downloads.
