I both agree and disagree with you.

Before the first round of buffs AST was just plain bad, there's no ifs or buts, it was inferior to both other healers and there was no reason to raid with it, after the first round of buffs AST became on par with the other healers, and here's where I agree with you that people went too stubborn, as usual people resist change, they saw WHM + SCH worked fine and saw no reason to replace either with AST, and it took until they pretty much broke AST in terms of support to finally be fully accepted.
