Why Britain persisted with the Wyvern while America abandoned the Skyshark

Why did Britain make the Wyvern work while the United States abandoned the A2D Skyshark?

Britain still needed the turboprop strike aircraft, while the United States preferred to move directly to jets.

The difference between the Wyvern and Skyshark was institutional rather than aerodynamic. Britain wanted a turboprop naval strike aircraft badly enough to make the Wyvern work, while the United States had greater freedom to abandon the Douglas A2D Skyshark and advance to jets. Had the Skyshark worked, it could have replaced the Skyraider earlier. Procurement need, development success, and access to a technological alternative could decide whether a difficult aircraft survived.
