You don't become the only non-Honda champion in a decade through luck, considering that Honda had a perfectly good lineup and a theoretically ebtter bike that year.
Suzuki have really struggled with teh MotoGP bike, simple as that. The rpesence of 6 Hondas and the increasinly impressive Yamahas makes it very hard for them to get on level terms, especially with reduced support from head office.
