It really is puzzling that it has survived the axe along with BBC4 both of which have less viewers than BBC3

BBC Alba has an 11% reach and costs 4 Million. BBC Three has a 23% reach and costs 87 million. So that's 20 times the costs for only double the reach.
Canning BBC Alba would only free up 4 million. Hardly a drop in the ocean of the 100 million they need to save.
