The Pioneer/Dolby approach allowed them to market the software to people who didn't yet have the hardware to decode 5.1 audio. The DTS solution lacked that advantage, especially when discs included audio commentary, so that the only non-DTS soundtrack was mono analog.

Ahh the good old days
DTS on LD was a niche in an already niche market and the DTS version was always released
in addition to the standard PCM/AC-3 disc. You didn't buy them
unless you had a DTS decoder so compatability was never an issue.
