Not everyone ignored it but unlike nfs it didn't come in the box with the operating system, and you had to pay for it. In addition, AFS provided strong cryptographic authentication and wire privacy which meant that it couldn't be

Even with afs3-rxkad-k5 the wire encryption is a watered down variant of DES called fcrypt and the use of encryption is the choice of the client. There is nothing that an administrator can do to prevent AFS3 clients communicating with AFS3
