Why no ARMS amiibo?

I think Nintendo is moving away from amiibo. I'm starting to see stores remove the displays and Nintendo didn't even report amiibo sales in their last financial release. Disney and Activision seem to be doing the same as well. The only Switch exclusive game that has them is Splatoon 2 (in part because Splatoon 1 had them). ARMS and 1-2-Switch don't use them. I think ARMS isn't getting them because Nintendo is slowly moving out of the amiibo game.

Zelda and Pikmin say hi

Zelda amiibo were started back in 2016 (though I did forget about Pikmin).

But as I said, I think Nintendo is moving away from them (as they are releasing other amiibo this year outside the ones you mentioned). It definitely seems like they are scaling back. Unless these amiibo sell gangbusters, Nintendo will begin to winddown amiibo.
