Didn't really affect piracy, though, if that was their motivation. You can get GameCube-size DVD-Rs for $0.50, they were used by digital cameras at the time. Just about any DVD burner could burn them and GameCubes with modchips could play them (this GameCube modchip was $25). It was no harder than regular DVDs. And the GameCube could still play regular DVD-Rs when modded if you took the top panel off with a screwdriver.
As crammond94 commented, SD media launchers are not a perfect solution, even the best SD cards will still lag during demanding sequences. Sometimes it is hard to see the lag, but it is very apparent in choppy audio.
One thing you could do for minimal investment is to burn your own miniDVDs, use your SD media Launcher to load swiss, swap disks to the burned disk, and launch it via swiss without the need for a modchip. Burned miniDVDs generally work as well as the real thing. If you go this route, burn as slowly as possible, or you may get errors on the disk.
Other than that, the most convenient method would be to mod a Wii, install USBLoaderGX and Nintendont, and load gamecube games from an external hard drive. Wiis with broken disk drives are on ebay all the time for ~$15-$20.
I have it in all 7 of my GCs. I prefer the Japanese models as they had color matching GB Players. The discs arent too bad. I used these:
