I'm sure the crisis was part of it.
But also, the way Linux development is organized is very weird compared to how code is developed in most places. "Distributed" is not quite right, but it's the best word I've got. A source control tool like Perforce just wouldn't fit linux development very well, whereas large companies at the time were perfectly happy with it.
