They would've already stopped support for the 3DS except that Pokémon Go caused a resurgence of interest in the system, giving it a YOY increase in most markets. So they stretched its lifespan a little longer to ride that wave. Most of the non-Pokémon software is pretty low-key, typical for a platform at the end of its run. The system is clearly being sunsetted, just at a slower pace than may have been expected. The Switch is the future and everybody knows it.
