I'm don't know that well Entropy, so I can tell not for this exact case, but in general: because to fix issues properly and not just do random things about them (that seem to be OK on a first glance) the issues need to be investigated and actually fixed, for all known cases. Remember the "boxes" issue in Gtk+? Reinstalling the packages was enough; but the problem was deeper, and it was indeed addressed in Entropy, so it shouldn't fail this way in the future (it was AFAIK related to introduction of the new EAPI).
