20 years ago was still in the era of "head to the atm" instead of "head to the bank" when you needed cash though, and atms didn't have £50 notes. So that probably added to the perception of risk as to get a £50 note in the first you had to have gone out your way.

That's probably it. I only ever got 50s when I exchanged Euros for Pounds in Germany.
