Maybe it was clear to you, but it wasn’t clear to us. The company I work for sent developers to WWDC, and the message they came back with was that Carbon was a serious alternative to Cocoa. Of course, Apple changed its plans several times during this period, but the abandonment of 64-bit Carbon - after it had already been developed - was sudden and unexpected (to us). It’s ancient history now. I wish Apple had given a clearer message and provided an easier transition. Carbon provided an easy way to transition from classic macOS, but there wasn’t an easy way to transition from Carbon to Cocoa.
