Some wild theories I came up with:
1) they are fairly small so they were easy to stash away in the attic or the back room, and survived.

2) early tv repairmen were not always that smart and so often bought new crt's when they didn't really need them

3) it took some time for repair shops, dealers, distributors & manufacturers to figure out just how long picture tubes would last in the real world & how fast they would sell, so they stocked up on them
