The authors speculate it was due to pressure from bicycle manufacturers and a perceived threat to the cycling identity.
On a personal note as someone who rides a drop bar bike and wants to change over to a recumbent bicycle, it kinda informs the wierdly elitist nature of the sport and culture.
Drop bar bicycles get hilariously expensive when you factor all the support items needed to ride one long term.
