Because they had Refractors and to prevent chromatic aberration being a major issue?

Big dobs do not suck. They are great when correctly used. They may not have the range of focus given by slower scopes, but when used correctly that can be compensated for.

Also I assume your complaint is large fast newtonian reflectors as opposed to the alt az style of mount.
