The difference between the time it takes physical copies to wear out is much much longer than the time it takes $company to decide that it's time to force everyone to buy the next latest-and-greatest.

I've got NES cartridges from the 80s or 90s still working.

And I've got Switch cartridges that are dependent on Nintendo's continued online support.

My point was that a physical Wii still works and is still a physical object, so it serves the same functional purpose here as individual NES cartridges.
