“Interesting you say that because as a non-liturgical evangelical I wouldn’t have known the difference in liturgies initially anyways.”
When the Western Rite liturgy was developed, it was intentionally designed for Episcopalians and Roman Catholics. I doubt people thought that there would be any stream of conversions from evangelical Protestantism. Of course evangelical Protestantism has provided very, very many of our converts and as they are non-liturgical, they seem to take to the Byzantine Divine Liturgy just fine, having no preconceived notions about such matters, as you point out.
