I think it was lots of parallel development - some mid-to-late 3G phones had carrier hand-rolled Wi-Fi calling, some had femtocell support instead, LTE was to be just faster packet-only Internet mode for 3G, became its own thing too late which necessitated CSFB, and then Wi-Fi calling became reimplemented as part of standard, etc.
