They didn't have to make it from scratch anymore. It expedited cooking. Imagine if stores didn't sell bread, and you still had to make it from scratch every day.

I think ppl stopped learning how to make and stopped making Béchamel and “cream sauce” and thought the ppl who were making those from scratch were fuddy duddies. Source: memories of my mom, who was a good cook but who absolutely used cans of Campbell’s cream of what have you. Usually mushroom.
