I'm sure that price played a part in it but the Ferguson system as we know came out in 1933. IH didn't come out with the fast hitch until 1953. In 1933 no one else offered a system that offered it's safety advantages,draft control, and weight transfer. Plus Ferguson was one of the first to go global with his brand.

His implements were useless unless he bought those blank plates and welded to his implements but how many farmers back then owned a welder? I think fast hitch and all the others were good ideas but had limitations...but the biggest killer of them all was they were 20 years too late.
