The process for fixing is significantly more complicated than the process for starting fresh. Trying to make even minor changes gets bogged down in essentially the same magnitude of bureaucracy as starting from scratch. Endless public consultation, money interest lobbying, etc. the effort is almost never worth it for minor changes.
Your attitude of incrementalism is, IMHO, why we can’t have nice things today. When something’s obviously broken, sometimes it is best to admit it was a failed experiment and try again.

That's usually the opinion of people who didn't actually thought through the whole process of starting fresh. https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2000/04/06/things-you-should-never-do-part-i/ https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2000/04/06/things-you-should-...
