From what some people tell me, there's also a political reason as there's a lot happening there.

The same companies that rejected to go to Barcelona are attenting ISE in Amsterdam. That makes me thing they junt needed a reason to pull out of Barcelona.

MWC is a lot higher profile. And, once Ericsson pulled out, a number of other companies felt that they wanted to be seen (both internally and externally) as doing the "responsible" thing. And that really opened to floodgates to the point where holding the show without a bunch of major companies and pared-back attendance just didn't make sense.
