Even if they were, many titles would not work since they would need the extra hardware the DSi offers above the original model (name extra RAM). Most DS flashcarts, even when used in a DSi, only have access to the base DS hardware, which is also why DSi enhanced games (such as Gen V Pokemon) do not act as if they are in a DSi.

The reason why we're not seeing any methods of launching DSiWare backups is that nobody gave two flips about the DSi, period. Even the homebrew movement for the system died in its cradle, the hardware was never properly mapped and hardly utilized in development. Seeing that 3DSWare titles are being dumped and converted I can see a light at the end of the road, but I'm not sure if anyone will give DSiWare attention now when it wasn't given any when it was in its prime.

Because Nintendo hates your money, their mind is set solely on failing at each and every turn. For the same reason the 3DS doesn't have GBA Virtual Console to this day despite having a firmware specifically coded for GBA backwards compatibility.
There is GBA VC. They are ambassador only games. However, you can install a few of those games through other means than the eShop but, I am not sharing those means. If you really want to know the means that are used to install these games, just Google it.
