It wasn't a widely popularized concept yet. Look at old photos of men who used guns professionally and trigger discipline is pretty random up until the 90s. Which, probably not coincidentally, is when modern pistols without a manual safety really took off.

Kinda weird how long the grip safety stuck around, though. I mean, wasn't its original purpose so that pre-WW1 cavalrymen could drop it to hang by the lanyard while riding without worrying about the jostling of the horse setting it off?

Eh, not really that different from how more modern designs are carried. As long as your holster isn't trash, nothing will even touch that light trigger, so it should be fine.

Though to be fair, I've only ever carried striker fired pistols or revolvers, so I might be missing something here.
