Because the uncovering of that "hidden" material is a large part of why the Number Crunchers keep playing. People out there really enjoy doing that.
The real problem here is that so many of you obsess over these accused numbers instead of the enjoyment factor of the powers themselves. Most times...the differences are so fleeting and meaningless that its not even worth the time to DEBATE what is uber or not.
Also, as a developer you are always in the tommorow of the game. So while it seems easy to post statistics from where YOU sit....the developers are always reviewing things to see how they mesh together and making testing changes to see what is most fair. They do that not ONLY for existing abilities...but also ones they plan to release in the future. That effort doesn't end. To keep a game successful you must check those things regularly and always be mindful of better ways and options.
Sissies.
