Because it was a huge flop. That Nintendo wouldn't pay for a cheap and easy port, and even Platinum themselves made the fans foot the bill just shows how much of a failure W101 is commercially. 

If Platinum decided to port it and convinced people to pay over 2M when the port was even finished by Rol claim then it doesn't seem like it was such a big failure.

Well, looking at the kickstarter, it has just over 30k backers. If you consider each of them a sale, that's not much, and it likely won't sell a large amount outside that group.

The fact neither Nintendo nor Platinum were willing to fund a port considering how cheap and painless Wii U to Switch porting is says a lot.
