By that time, the 41 was a full system of barcode readers, magnetic card peripherals, a printer, and its tape drive.

So, why weren't HP’s calcs picked, especially any of the 41 versions with specially designed plug-in modules created?

The '80 winter Olympics started in February, and the 41 came out only the year before, probably not giving enough time for the required months or years of planning to fit it in.
