I think a lot of it is that 2D gives you a lot more opportunities to dial in the precise "things are visually distinct" vs "visual clutter" trade-off that you want, and optimize practically every pixel. 3D has to deal with every possible angle instead of like 1-4, you just can't make it perfect all the time like you can 2D.
