It’s not about convenience. It is about control, and manipulation. There is only one thing important and it is money.
Corpos, are trying their hardest to cut corners on every opportunity. It was promised that digital games where to be cheaper than the physical alternative - but alas that promise was broken when all that did was tie the customer down into a literal monopoly.
In my experience, some indie games still have that “charm”. So it’s not about convenience, it’s caring about your customers.

Some publishers have mentioned that the cards available are too slow for their games (the internal storage is much faster).
That’s a crap excuse. Load the data into ram on startup or local storage on install.
Installing from the card would still be slow though 🤷
It would likely be faster than downloading it from the Internet.
Exactly. Cards can’t be slower than an Internet connection.
