Capes became more popular and it's natural to follow the money in a capitalist system. The better question is why didn't Americans abandon cape comics for random kids with superpowers comics like Japan did when the trends left cape comic behind.

The guys who made the good stuff had mostly hung up their pens by the late 60s, and there was a good long while before US audiences got introduced by Gladstone to European stuff, and other US talents would come around. But by then superhero books had taken over most of the market.

from what I gathered the comics code killed every genera that wasn't superheroes, westerns or war. then comics become niche industry in the 70's, not sold at newsstands or checkout counter, but the same core of nerds going into specialty stores and habit buying variant covers.
They didn't go back to the other generas when they could, the only competitor is Archie, outside the jap and french market.
