Often times, the simplest of fixes tend to create the most complex architectural problems. Microsoft doesn't focus all their effort on pen-testing their patches, they spend their time mostly on ensuring that 3rd party software is not broken by their patches. That's why the simplest of fixes aren't as simple as they may seem. You only see the solution; Microsoft must dig through several solutions before they find the right one.
