It's not that they like the DS as much as they've given up hope of the PSP beating it, and they haven't given up hope of the HD systems beating the Wii.

And there was quite a bit of DS bashing when Chinatown Wars failed to have a huge opening, blaming the system, and not the atypical control and art style (because they thought GTA has hardcore appeal, not casual appeal that the 3D games showed).

But why would they surrender on one, but not the other? Recall that when the shift occured, the DS was still behind the PSP in sales, and it took several years before the nail was put in the handheld coffin. I don't think sales have much to do with it.
