Hey! I know you posted this way back, but I thought you'd be interested in finding other examples of this. A friend was helping me update my catalog of available homebrew and chiptune, and she gave me the link below, which in addition to listing several chiptune cartridges, also lists many many chiptune releases like the one you noted.

As to the why, I'm sure that varies from artist to artist, but several find using retro carts like this offers a great way to connect their music and its availability on a modern listening platform with the nostalgia associated with the cart.
