It's because their systems practically print money, as old and overused as the joke is now. (Although it is true.)
By making this, which is the exact same system with no changes to it except it's bigger, (the DSlite at least had improved screens on it and a better stylus holder) they'll just rake in twice as much cash from consumer demand over a worthless "upgrade".
It's an amazing business model on Nintendo's end (as they're still a business, in the end) as they can make a fuckton of cash by doing basically nothing, but at the same time it dicks over their "original" customers who have been there since the beginning.
