    So its not that LPF didn't catch on, its that these laws can't be changed
    easily or quickly.

It's both.  Because the patent problem cannot be addressed easily or
quickly, in order to change them we need an organization that will
attract a substantial membership, and keep going for a long time.  The
LPF did not get there, before; but a second try might succeed if there
are people who are ready, willing and able to work on it.
