Why was the switch made

Answers can only be as good as the questions I ask. Mea culpa.

Let's try this again.

Why did mouthpieces switch at some point to have the reed on bottom from its original place on top of the mouthpiece?

And why when it happened did most clarinetists switch to single lip embouchure or if taking up the instrument for the first time after this switch, not back then continue with double lip embouchure?

Was the reed on bottom switch done SO single lip embouchure could be adopted?

TIA
