Sometimes, that can be the safest way to insure you have clean binaries.
To answer the majority of your complaints, I'm summing it all up right
here.

You are making the assumption that everyone is running the latest
greatest releases available. You also assume that we all have the luxory
of assembling, and installing the machines on our network. Some of us do
actually inherit this crap. Upgrading them, while would be a dream come
true for me, isn't always a possibility.

I agree with what you're saying, but you have to realize that no matter
how badly some of us want to do something, we just can't...
