It's meant to be down to the developer (e.g. all first-party games seem to be on regular cartridges, and I think Cyberpunk is on a cartridge as well), but the other rumour is that Nintendo are only selling 64GB cartridges, when even 32GB was rarely used on Switch 1, which naturally pushes most developers to use the key cards instead, at the lower price, as I'm sure Nintendo is taking a nice chunk of money for the cartridges.
