The lack of fresh index surely was a factor but not sure whether it was primary.
Obvious question - why did you not update the index? Was it that it was obvious Google was going to win and made people give up? (edit - never mind - you address this in other comments)

I wasn't aware about index back then, but I saw broken links, at that time I thought that was normal, that it takes time to scan the entire Internet. With Google I generally got working websites. I did like the boolean search in AV, it helped with obscure searches, especially when name was similar to a typo of a popular word.
