Because they were so inferior in every way.
Leghorns mature in half the time. Eat half as much. Need almost half the amount of space. Lay twice as many eggs. Free range twice as well. Can be sexed in weeks instead of months. Are so much more friendly. Etc.
When you want to breed for patterns and breed for several at the same time it's a no brainer.

I have 4 BO hens! My absolute favorite and sweetest girl is a BO. We named her Bertha, she’s always been bigger than the rest of our flock. She’s an angel! Not laying yet, she’s only 16 weeks old, but hoping for some winter eggs. 14 hens 1 rooster!

Time = progress on projects. My brain works so fast and projects move so slow I really need to make the most out of the time or I may spin out of control.
Ok they may be wound a little more tight then orps or cochins but they have to keep up with me.
