They're still working through the mess that surrounded SwapNote (where the thing that Nintendo was afraid of happening, happened, and that was with friend codes). No way in hell are they going to allow for friend requests on the 3DS until they figure out how to get SwapNote safely up and running again

I doubt that this is the reason. Miiverse on Wii U does support this features, so why not on 3DS. I think it is some dev. reason.

Miiverse on Wii U is moderated though, swapnote on 3DS had an infamous incident happen in Japan as it's not moderated people can get away with things that lets just say affect the services image.
