Of course, there are bugs in every version. Sometimes a user must be able to choose which bug is more problematic, i.e. the bug in the newer ebuild which makes the package unusable for them or the older bug which has a security issue the users are aware of but not present, i.e. prevented by firewall. A timeline of two weeks would allow the user to easily downgrade and if necessary put the ebuild in overlay.

Additional:

Sometimes the chance for the users to place the ebuild comfortably into overlay is simply taken, since the ebuild has been removed and doesn't exist after a sync anymore.
