Truly broken and deeply unfinished games shipping on cart/disc are (were?) still kinda the exception.
DoesItPlay? tries to track this, and they currently list 92% of Switch games being playable without a download. Most of the remanining 8% are games that don’t have all the content in the cart, not games that need a patch due to bugs.
And most likely it’s higher than 92%, since it’s easier to track down the “exceptions” that require download or are broken than it is to test the thousands of available games to say “yes, I played it through using the version in the cart and it worked fine”.
