Americans are a stuborn bunch
Just as with HDTV, when the Japanese thought they were a shoe-in for the system they went with 15 years ago, the atsc went thru 9 propsed systems before settling on our current form of digital television. The ntsc system was already too far down the line with color already being demonstated in the forties using the ntsc system. If I were an engineer I would be biased against something that someone else thought up. Pal and Secam are better systems but so was the beta-max vs vhs. the rest is history.
