I think most people used miniatures, maps etc with the earlier editions. It just wasn't pushed on you the way it seems to be now.

TSR focused on gameplay, especially in 1st ed, and in the beginning with 2nd ed. tsr started to fall because it became about money, because the bitch that was married to the co-creator inhereted his half when he died, and she hated gary gygax.
Wizards of the coast bought tsr, adn thinsg looked very promising, then Hasbro bougth wotc. boom, all about the money again.
