when the only way to be a musician was to compose music for the king (who ruled through divine right / appointed by god) or the church, you did what they said when it came to composing. if the powers that be decided a chord progression wasn't acceptable they made sure it wasn't used. after all, they were interested in making sacred music, not secular.
to act as if the church didn't have significant control over society in the middle ages is even more ludicrous than the idea that a note is too dark to be used in music.
