I don't mean it'll "eventually" support larger sizes. It'll support those sizes out of the box. It really doesn't matter what the stated max size is, SD cards all work pretty much the same, so plug the largest size you can afford in there and it'll work fine (assuming proper formatting).
I doubt the average Switch game is going to be too large, since the system is cartridge based and everything. I'd expect something closer to DVD size than full Bluray size. A 200 GB card should last a long while that way. You're right that it will eventually fill up, but my expectation is that SD card sizes will keep pace with demand pretty well. I suppose including ports to moor an external hard drive to the docking station would help, but I doubt you'd really be fully happy with that solution when you have to take the thing around outside.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
