I think the question is more like: Why can't Valve put more time, effort, and new ideas into CS like they have for TF2/L4D2/Portal2 which have all have new content, tweaks, and updates on a regular basis since release?
They're purposely keeping away from gameplay, mechanics, balance, etc. CS:S got huge updates over the past few years adding most of the community features and improvements that had been developed for TF2. The last big update even did mess with a few weapons, most obviously the way glock burst fire works and the strength of the usp. Other than the improvement in shot registration, I would say most people are upset rather than happy with the tweaks and that's why they tend to stay away from messing with a 12 year old game.
