Its kind of hard to understand if you haven't experienced it. On some projects you might see the previous and latter generations and compare side by side the apparent changes and improvements. For those who did revamps, they knew their value of the original and believed they could improve upon it. Unless you have some personal investment in the concept, I don't think you can improve on it too much beyond cosmetic and mechanical improvements. So my suggestion if the problem is interesting enough for you, part of your work is to get experience and own the problem and strive for a solution. It may not the the project that gets you going but the implementation being in need of your skills, etc.
