Maybe the MP2 support was an issue too :)

As others mentioned, they only used FHG's encoder for a short time while
being sued.  I would say the main reason for switching back is the cost.
The license requires a payment to FHG for each MP3 player sold or
downloaded.  If the player is based on the FHG code then they pay
twice as much.
