because vit comes with useless stats like party and does not increase ur dps. Its also very ez to tell a good player from a bad player if they don't know that u need every bit of dps to pass A3S wall and only need certain amount of hp to survive tank busters.I can't believe I forgot the plague of STR tanks during Pre-3.2. It seemed to attract the people who didn't know how to play their class, thinking that using STR instead of VIT made them better tanks over night. It was very easy to tell the good ones from the bad ones when the first pulls started.
If you were a healer during that era you would prefer a bad VIT tank over a bad STR tank any day of the week.

As a healer doing that era, it was an ill-begotten nightmare.
there was an added problem to Vit back in Gordias as well. Because Vit didn't impact AP at all, you actually experienced poor emnity generation growth as you geared up. So the vit tanks back in the day also tended to have Emnity issue in addition to DPS problems. So they were tankier(?) but they couldn't generate emnity for crap.
