Because you cooked the fluid and bled the brakes most likely.
I would run stock rubber lines with my stoptechs if I could. Cut a stock line in two sometime there is a lot more going on than just rubber. I will believe they are superior right after we start running stainless braided tires or someone shows me some data showing there is less pressure drop across less than a foot of hose in stainless jacketed lines, or explains why i should run them despite the fact I have seen numerous stainless braided lines fail due to manufacturing defects but not once seen a rubber line fail even when severely aged, though of course it does happen the sample size is infinitely larger with the stock style lines.
IMO these have caught on because they are cheap shiny and based on improving "feel" which is easy to sell when the purchaser has confirmation bias.
