As of right now Arms is one of the most popular fighting titles for the Nintendo Switch.  Since its release back in June of 2017 the game had managed to sell over 100,000 worldwide within its first which was nothing short of impressive.  However, if the game was released for the 3DS some might argue that the game would not have done as well in terms of sales.

If Nintendo decided to release Arms do the Nintendo 3DS XL right now it could potentially turn people away from purchasing the game on the Nintendo Switch.  Makings game like Arms an exclusive title for the Nintendo Switch is one of the few things that makes the game itself appealing. If Arms wasn’t an exclusive title for the Nintendo Switch it would probably would not sold as much as it did since its release.
