There were machines from a couple of workstation vendors that didn't support texturing, and if I remember correctly the same was true for a few of the PC vendors that were involved at the beginning. Some of the earliest arguments about subsetting revolved around that issue; people wanted to ship OpenGL on machines without hardware texturing and without software fallback. Texture objects came about when everyone realized that some textures needed to be mutable (via CopyTexture, etc.) but display lists were explicitly designed to be immutable. As Ian said, that was right on the heels of 1.0.
