:-) You'd have to look at the fashion for hyped and oversaturated colour,
images which smack you in the mouth, for an explanation. Fuji led the way
with this, and people considered Kodak materials dull and uninteresting in
comparison (especially given some of the other idiosyncrasies of
Ektachromes).
