Multitouch can use stylus just fine like the Galaxy Note that you mentioned. Most tablet makers don't include a stylus because most consumers don't want one. There's no technical issue to it. 

It was an example. What I meant to say is that the Android and iOS apps are not designed for stylus use, and so don't optimise for it. The DS was optimized for gaming and stylus use. That ended in the DS bottom and upper screens.

The advantage I mentioned remains. No screen cluttering with your hands.

As I said though, I see Nintendo implementing a uniformist approach, which would allow for touch as well as stylus as well as dual-screen or single-screen gaming (like 3D World's touch capabilities on off-tv play).

The DS is done it's yesterdays news, Nintendo can milk the 3DS, but the next product needs to be something for today, not "this made sense 10 years ago". 

10 years ago in the modern tech world might as well be 50 years ago. All these companies that have tried to be smarter than Apple and try to dictate to consumers how they should use their tech rather than just giving the people what they want are now eating a giant slice of humble pie, and Nintendo certain is in that group.
