Why L.A. Noire is $10 more on Switch than XOne & PS4

Rockstar, not known for their support of Nintendo platforms, will release L.A. Noire on Switch on November 14th along side the PS4 and XOne versions. The game will retail at $49.99 that's $10 more than the other versions - why?

The official reason is the cost of putting the game on a flash card instead of disc. All very well but why would the download version be more expensive? It doesn't make sense to me. Nintendo have always charged a premium, why? because they can.
