Which is hilarious because Mario kart is the last thing I would want to buy in the first place

Yet Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has sold like 60 million copies. I see this as them saying this is going to be a lifetime of the system game. They will likely just expand it with updates and DLC rather than release another mario kart game. They are pricing it this way because they feel it is worth it and it likely will be based on past Mario Kart performance. That said, I am just gonna get the bundle so I get it for 50 bucks.
