GNU trying with info pages was largely hampered by the fragmented UNIX world of the day? I seem to recall various UNIX controllers were far more active in standards and such than they seem to be today. Specifically, I don't think any one company had the dominance that would be needed to drive a large migration.
Not that I'm certain that company exists today. There does seem to have been more consolidation than we had back then.
