Because they are perfectionists. If they need to make a relatively small change, and it require a lot of effort, they'll do it. Ever hear about the original SC? They had the game ready for alpha testing, and people did not like it. Said it looked too cartoony. Blizzard scrapped it and built a new engine and everything. Then they delivered the flawless classic we know and love, and the rest is history. How many developers are willing to do that? Scrap a product near the end of it's development cycle, essentially doubling it's budget and development time, because they refuse to deliver a sub-par product? Just one.
