1. They're robust- Parents! How many £40-£50 games has your child destroyed because the game was on a disc? I bet there's at least one and that's why cartridges were so much better. Cartridges were able to withstand whatever a sprog could throw at them, not like those puny discs who cannot even cope with a teeny-weeny scratch!
2. Labels- Cartridge labels are so much more appealing than crappy disc prints. A cartridge at least has some class and provides excellent artwork, unlike discs where you might get a bland looking shot of the games protagonist (if you're lucky).
3. When the box goes missing they still look good- It's always a shame when a box/case goes missing but at least cartridges still look great lined up along a shelf. A disc will either need to go into a plastic pouch or a dedicated binder to save it from all those nasty scratches, and it doesn't look anywhere near as good as a glorious collection of cartridges standing tall in your living room.
Cartridges kick ass.
