SSKTJL and Gotham Knights universes switched

Wouldn't it have made more sense for the creators of each of these games to switch the canon. Meaning Gotham knights taking place after the end of Arkham Knight and SSKTJL taking place in it's own universe. I'm not sure why the creators decided to go the route they did. I feel like the investment into the Arkhamverse's sidekicks would've made Gotham knights more appealing and maybe killing the Arkhamverse's justice league would've been more digestible to players if they weren't from the Arkhamverse
