The current method of on-demand via iPlayer and showcasing the best stuff on BBC1 or 2 feels better suited to the target demographic and the way TV is heading. Very rarely do I watch dramas or sitcoms on linear TV, which is predominantly what 3 was/is all about. For example I'm currently watching Two Doors Down on BBC iPlayer (best sitcom BBC has put out for years) and I couldn't tell you when it goes out on regular TV, nor does it matter.
I bet during sports programming it'll be used as another overflow channel like 4.
Its about visibility. Out of sight, out of mind. When BBC Three went off air, it was one of the most watched channels. This will likely bring it back to those days. We are moving towards streaming, but in the same way you can still buy physical media for gaming...we ain't there yet.
