Except for an expensive shield, the pi3 smashes a lot of the players oit there. It baffles my mind. After I spent too much money on a android player that is buggy as hell! All these big i5/7 bending over do do some decoding while the pi3 laughs in their faces.
I guess it's because there is no real money in it for the manufacturers, and there is really no 'official' 3D content in MVC format available (a lot of manufacturers don't class home ripping as legitimate - as it isn't supported by the Blu-ray forum who licence the official players).
The Pi Foundation works a bit differently - I suspect they saw no reason not to implement 3D MVC as they had the ability to do it, and aren't going to be licensees of the Blu-ray forum any time soon?
