So I can have a legal copy that I don't need to rent.

Ideally Nintendo would just embrace emulation and sell roms, instead of renting them through their service.

Buying digitally on Nintendo's store is essentially renting with extra steps anyway.

Not really. Their subscription service is renting because there's a clear end-point. Buying digitally has an unclear endpoint, so it's probably much longer.

Ideally these ports would be available in physical format as well, or as a DRM-free ROM. The former might happen, but the latter certainly won't.
