Well, historically, we have to remember these derailleurs' status when first introduced!

The Simplex plastic Prestige (in 1961?) was a serious big deal! Revolutionary! Everyone who was "with it," wanted that set up.

The Huret Allvit (disdained by those of us who started in the 1970s and perceived them as having devolved to the bottom of the food chain!) was a hot, new & exciting development (Huret's first parallelogram?)

Everything is relative.
