CFCs had relatively cheap, equivalent replacements, and did not make up the cornerstone of many national economies.

The damage they caused was disproportionate, compared to the economic benefit of using them over alternatives.

The nature of the ozone hole also didn't let people hide behind nonsense like "The climate changes naturally" and "Well, there are natural sources of carbon" and "The climate was different in the past."
