IMO I think the main cause of it was 2 things. 1 is that alot of ppl don't have a kitchen suited to roasting a full turkey. The other being that ppl didn't like the time needed to cook said turkey as most meals tend to be done in 30 min or less which also includes the prep time. As such. Take out fried chicken was viewed as close enough and far more convenient.
