[Bible] Why did the Egyptians continue to worship their gods when they have been given a clear demonstration that the Hebrew god is much more powerful?

In Exodus, the Hebrew god is basically pitted against the Egyptian gods on behalf of their respective peoples, but the Hebrew god displays huge acts of power while the Egyptian gods don't even so much as make an appearance. 

Given this, why would any Egyptians continue worshipping their powerless or apathetic pantheon, when they know there is a more powerful, more interactive god just around the corner?

The Egyptian gods had plenty of power. They still made the Nile flood and the crops grow. They still helped mothers conceive and give birth. They still provided an afterlife.

Plus, all of the acts of the Hebrew god were relatively condensed in time; they didn't occur long enough for people to overcome their inertia.

That is, of course, supposing that the Hebrew god actually did the things. Perhaps the Egyptian pantheon brought the plagues as punishment for not better controlling the Jews. At the very least, the priests (who would have the most to lose if their people lost faith) could have spun it that way.
