Nintendo does make nonsensical choices sometimes and I'm not ruling out them doing so here, but from a logical point of view, imagine you're a first party publisher with a limited amount of manpower. Do you commit one of your flagship teams to a sequel to a game that sold around 3m lifetime and fizzled out within a year, or a much bigger project with vastly more potential?

Nintendo has 11 in-house teams that work on multiple games at once. It's not like they can only choose one game at a time, so they can both grow the ARMS IP, as well as prepare the next Mario Kart entry as well.  So to answer your question, Why not both? 

Again, because it would be unwise use of resources better spent on more important projects with greater potential.
