DDT would cut down the profits made from selling pesticide. In a few words, it was too effective or too good of a product.

Same thing with Freon, it was so superior that it had to be banned so that Dupont could invent new patented more profit producing replacements that were required by law to be purchased by the public.

Of course you can only buy it from Dupont because they hold the patent. When the patents expire on the replacement products they too will be suddenly found out to be "destroying the environment" and banned as well with new patented products to replace them.
