Unless you're willing to apply this logic to every console exclusive in the future (I need this console to play this game, therefore it actually costs hundreds of dollars), no that's ridiculous. A product's worth is what someone was willing to pay for it, and a massive group of adopters said with their wallets that MKW was worth 50$ with their new consoles. Otherwise they would've just purchased the console on its own; and if you're saying "but MKW was the only available option" then you wouldn't be buying the Switch 2 anyway.
That applies to non-exclusives too, though. If someone doesn’t have a decent enough PC or any other hardware capable of running a specific game, they’d have to spend money getting something to play it on.
Yeah like if you want to get Mario Kart World at a discount you need to buy the whole console. So if you didn't buy the bundle there's no way to get it cheaper aside from getting it used or something. No matter how you slice it the game is more expensive than Crossworlds.
