According to their own internal metrics the mode was not viable or worth the development time financially. Makes sense since it was full of complete broken interactions and poor deck constructing mechanics. Most people that played it played the free version to finish odd ball quests they had in que.
There’s also that little situation where their budget got halved and they needed to figure out where their resources were best put. It’s the same reason twist is so spotty and gets little updates when it is available.

Blizzard don’t like us having fun, that’s why they abandoned Duels!
I’d prefer neither Arena or Duels, but a new non-Constructed format that has random netdecks and you can select any of them from ALL of them every single time; if one of them is the best then that’s a good opportunity for the Devs to balance constructed; a win-win for both Constructed and non-Constructed at balancing.
But if I were to choose I’d say Duels because it’s a bit less random than Arena.
Not according to any graph that I ever saw.
I will link an example:
