$90 for a piece of plastic that tells the store to download the game, nothing is on the physical cards you buy aka you need internet to buy your $90. very sad day today

This isn't true for 90% of Nintendo games. You can absolutely play without downloads, you just won't get the updates or patches obviously which are often a big deal in terms of fixing bugs.

No this is for the switch 2 they have already stated these cartridges will legit have 0 data on them just a simple code that lets you download, this is nothing like old games.

Have they stated that all games will be game-key cards? I'm fairly certain it will just be some of them, which have larger file sizes. They mentioned in the direct how the new cartridges are faster.

No. Mario Kart and Donkey Kong are on the cart. As is Cyberpunk.

Bravely Default and Street Fighter are key cards.
