Difference being all three of these Mario games are still selling lots of copies at full price, and you actually get to own the game outside of a subscription.
None of these companies are charities, right. The sales potential of everything in the PS + Collection was basically zero; all those games had already been permanently discounted, seen frequent sales to very low prices, or previously given away for free. If you hadn't paid for them by now, you weren't going to, so it's a better benefit for them to give them away and get people in the ecosystem to buy other games. With these Mario games, it's extremely likely anyone buying a Switch will pay $80 for Mario Kart at some point, so it's still a decent deal.
