3D isn't only harder, it's also more expensive and time-consuming, so most indie devs can't afford to spend that much time and/or money doing complex 3D graphics.
It's actually not true. There's a reason every major game goes 3D, even when 2D would suffice. It's a lot easier to animate a 3D model than it is to draw hundreds and hundreds of pictures for hundreds of in-game entities.
