3000 was just a modernised and polished expansion of 2000. Maxis had plans to do a successor to 2k that was fully 3D but they kept hitting frustrations and setbacks. So they just stuck to what they knew and made a faithful successor.

Graphics hardware at the time wouldn't be able to handle a city builder with the depth and scale of SimCity 2000. Heck, it wouldn't have been able to handle a 3D version of the original SimCity unless the draw distance was limited to like 300 feet. For proof, check out SimCopter. I can't imagine trying to play a city builder with those graphics.
