I'm willing to bet that 95% of their customers do not have an issue with this. Probably the majority don't even realize that someone could have an issue with this. People are already very used to having to do big downloads with games and a lot of switch 1 games were already requiring half of the game to be downloaded due to large cart costs. Also tbh I don't think it's really a preservation issue as long as piracy exists.
