Compare this thinking to beta versus VHS. There's absolutely no doubt Beta
was better in every measurable capacity, but VHS was better at promotion

I thought it was because Betamax wouldn't allow their format to be used
for porn.

How could they have stopped it?

That's like saying Ford wouldn't allow its cars to be used to film porn.
Except once you buy a car, it's yours, and you can use it for anything
you like and Ford has no say about it.

Betamax had no authority to dictate what the people who bought their
tapes could record on them.
