People may have stuff to carry things in, but #1 having an extra thing to carry around with your 3DS is a hassle, #2 it is more time consuming to have to always try to wear the glasses when you want to see the 3D #3 you would still have some sort of slider or button to activate the 3D, otherwise your screen would be one big mess if you didn't want to see the 3D #4 it would suck if you broke your glasses and had to replace them.  You can be careful and still have them break because of the fact that they are separate from the system.  Someone else could easily break them.  

Overall, it's just very inconvenient, and I move around constantly with my 3DS with 3D on and it's just fine.  Also it really is an issue on games where every moment of the game is important to know what's going on.  Luigi's Mansion doesn't suffer from that, so it really is a selective issue.

#1 and #4 apply to anything, including the 3DS so these are kinda mute points.

 

#2 - Come ons, it takes like 10-30 seconds to pull out your glasses and put them on. You can't be that lazy. :P

 

#3 - Yes it would still have a slider. What's bad about that?

 

If it would really cause one so many problems, simply leave the glasses at home, and turn the 3D off. You couldn't have cared that much about the 3D if you're not willing to take some glasses with you. While I care about 3D, I care about being able to play more, so I've no choice but to leave the slider barely up just for that extra vibrance. A much bigger inconvenience it is, having to get interrupted in the middle of a game I'd say.

 

The problem is that problems #1 and #4 are exacerbated with something like 3D glasses for something people tend to use in short bursts.

#2 it would take away from the immediacy of being able to use the system.  People complained a lot about the loading time for the Wii U, which is pretty much equivalent to doing this for the 3DS.  It just isn't very user-friendly.

#3 I was just throwing that one in to prove a point.
