Because in some cases it can't be done! Because upgrading one component might 
require changing a library which would break other things. Because the location 
of files or their format may change, also breaking every program which uses 
them. And even when an update "works" it may not have optimal performance or 
stability compared to a clean install.

You have to like it for what it is, because it is going to be whatever the 
developers think is best for you, when they want to give it to you, not 
necessarily what you want. I could go off on this but but it wouldn't be useful. 
The bottom line is LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT.
