The Quraysh tribe controlled Mecca, which relied economically on polytheistic pilgrims visiting the idols in the Kaaba. Muhammad's monotheism threatened this income source, as it rejected the polytheistic shrines that drew pilgrims and brought economic activity. The second option is an oversimplification; the core concern was protecting their existing economic livelihood from pilgrimages, not an immediate end to travel.
