There were these two options:

1) Proprietary solution
2) No fingerprinting at all

I think it's a fairly obvious choice. If there was an open solution back then, MusicBrainz would have used it, but there wasn't and MB was never interested in developing its own fingerprinting technology because it's not the primary goal of the project.
