Were the 3DS and Wii U better than Switch?

Sure, if you look at it like that.

But if you look at it from the point of view of when it happened, there is a reason why Wii + DS sold 255+ millions, and WiiU + 3DS not even 90.

Yeah I can't speak for the DS as I never owned one, but the Wii was a much, much better console than the Wii U. Its library was stronger and the Wiimote was a more compelling controller.

If you look at each console's library in a vacuum, then yeah, the Wii had the superior library. If you look at them in a cumulative way that works like it does in the real world, the Wii U is objectively better because it supports every single Wii disc, every single Wii input method, and gave you full access to the Wii Virtual Console and WiiWare. And then you throw the Wii U games on top.
