This was due to institutional inbreeding where the 10 to 14 pound DA pull allowed some to get by with bad gun habits where a 5 pound striker was not so forgiving. (but in 1988 we did stuff a little different in a bad way)
Not just bad habits but intentional training to get on the trigger early, "trigger prepping", etc. Think of how many old holster styles leave the trigger exposed so you can be on the trigger before even clearing the holster. The old "Fitz Special" notion of cutting the trigger guard to allow faster access to the trigger and was even done with 1911s.
