DuPont family was afraid it would compete with nylon. And actually, it would have.
So they got it banned. (via bribery/government control) I had a hemp rope in my back yard for over a decade. It was from a different country, but it was very strong.
Probably loses strength slower than nylon.

In other words, it's like the oil business. If there's an alternative, quickly squash it.

That's what I said.. there's a lot of sun and salt air here.
AC compressor can be toast in 4 years.
A set of Channel Locks will be full rust if left outside for 2 weeks.
Sun and salt air weathers stuff fast.
That rope I had was a marine rope, and made for it.
It lasted at least 15 years.
