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. While IH was focusing on refridgerators, Ferguson was making the Ferguson System well established world wide. Another good selling point for the Ferguson system was his broad range of implements for every job known to the farmer and the industrial worker. Now if a farmer went and traded his 9N for an IH with the fast hitch he would have to buy their implements also. 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.
