You're acting like the game should be lasting the entire lifetime of the Switch in order to be a success. That's not the case, ARMS lasted long enough for Nintendo to consider it worth the effort. It sold 2 million copies in a year, and in a year enjoyed a healthy player base. That's enough for a sequel to be made, and since Yabuki wants to make a sequel, then there's a good chance that we're going to see one sooner or later. 

We don't know if Nintendo thinks it was worth the effort, they would never admit it if it fell short of their expectations, they pretended Wii U was fine for years.

In the end, it all comes back to one thing; prioritizing a 2 million seller over a potential 10 million makes zero business sense, and zero common sense. That's all there is to it. It could only happen as a vanity project okayed by incompetent management.
