I really think it was the Zenith management, that didn't want to pay RCA any more royalties, than they had to.
They also figured, that TV wasn't selling that well, post-war and color wasn't selling, that well in the late 50's, early 60's. That gave them plenty of time for research and development.
It's no secret, that there was bad blood, between RCA and a few of the other set makers.
