"would have never..." it's not possible to make such an assertion unless you have access to at least one copy of this universe that doesn't include him. Maybe in all the other universes the exact same thing happened except someone else did it. Maybe in some of those universes, without him and his popularizing of this technique, some other better technique flourished. Who knows?

Stating "would never have" is nothing more than telling a story.
