I suspect it was particularly popular with people buying LEGO for kids. It
was effectively a cheap substitute for the relatively expensive X Wing set,

A couple of times soon after the SW sets were released, I saw kids looking
at the X Wing, and parents persuading them to be happy with a Snowspeeder
instead.
This is not to detract from the quality/value of the model, just to go some
way to explaining why it dissappeared so quickly.
