Pasteur's method was extremely primitive compared to even 60 years ago, but it's cheap and easy to do, to the point where an educated person could literally cultivate it in their garage. That's also why it sometimes failed, but why it's still used in shithole countries with poor instructor. Comparing it to modern immunoglobulin vaccines is analogous to comparing the wright brothers' first airplane to a supersonic jet.
