You still own only a license to the game even in physical releases.
Physical media can and did have DRM and if Nintendo wished they could still remove your ability to play a game you have bought of you made use of any online mode or played a game released after their decision which would require and install a system update.
We need laws allowing users to do more stuff with games they buy (mod it, copy it etc). Physical media is at best irrelevant (when it’s a common media without drm) or downright hostile to users.
