You downkicked while you were pulling
Your legs went proactive
Your arms slammed
You heaved when you should have surged
You yawed when you should have pitched
You lost track of your legs
You hemmed when you should have hawed
YOU KNOW YOUR BUTTERSTRUGGLE WHEN -
You are worried about your looks
Your breathing is like a woman in labor
You got a mouthful
You've redefined top dead center
Your arms lost their lift
You got a literal ton of feedback
Gulls are circling
Kids are drowning

Perhaps, for most people, learning the fly is purely an endeavor of perseverance. I would love to be able to ride a unicycle or play the guitar. But the effort to learn is 100 times over not worth it for the unicycle and a 1000 times over not worth it for the guitar. The fly payoff IS WORTH IT 10000 times over.
Any time you make a drastic change to your stroke, you will get worse before you get better. You are comparing an optimized inefficient stoke, to a stroke with lots of potential but you are at the beginning of the learning curve.
