Information is not easy to find but my suspicion is that the following problems occurred:

1 Increase in efficiency offset by increase in weight.

2 Noise

3 Turbofans getting more efficient

4 These were probably aimed at the turboprop market ie lower levels whereas high level jet flight was becoming more fashionable qith customers.

Fuel is maybe half the direct operating costs so is always of interest.
