Because nobody cares to fix it until it breaks.

Before that it takes a long time for the breakage to be visible since most 
down-stream projects get FFmpeg as a pinned vendored release and/or from stable 
Linux distros.

And then you have projects that are dead or in a never-ending release cycle due 
to their own reasons (VLC...), holding back any stable release source update.
