The real reason for no 3DS version in the west is likely because Nintendo wouldnt publish it.

But that’s SquareEnix job.

It should be their job but a bunch of Dragon Quest games to come west on a Nintendo platform have been published by Nintendo.

Also when it came to localizing DQVII on 3DS, they actually said it wouldn't have happened without Nintendo footing the bill.
