No matter how innovative and fast this alphabet may be.At least 1-5 scribes were able to work with this alphabet very routined, and, as far as we can judge, fast. Several written lines and drawings appear a bit hastily done.

They would probably have abandoned the Latin script as well...Glagolitic is clearly dedicated and used in clerical (con)texts, while users developed other alphabets like cyrillic or, as the Croatians did, some adapted Latin versions, for profane and all-day use.
No reason to dump an alphabet, but to require another one.
As far as I remember, Cyrill and Method even intended to engage the scribes by every single symbol for a short time with contemplation and prayer = writing or reading was meant to be like praying time.
Good reason to find something simpler for the more common purposes.
