People have got used to the best available engine at that time. Any new engine launched today has to cross the entry barrier - user's habit. For e.g QWERT keyboards are the most popular ones even though people claim there could be many other configurations which are superior BUT people are used to QWERT... Before you comment back about the existence of other engines at that time (Yahoo etc), Google used to give the most relevant search items much better than others like inktomi from Yahoo etc. I agree that simple to do interface would also have helped it, but even if you launch a search engine with the similar interface today it may not succeed.
