Because that would cost money.

But as it is now it costs reputation to to the brand HP. In this forum there are a lot of HP ethusiasts because in their younger years they experienced great products of this company that were of the highest possible quality. And now students buying the HP 35S learn that the company knows about a lot of bugs in a product they sell and they simply do not care and sell this product with all its bugs and without any correction year after year. For many of them it will be their first experience with the brand HP. What will those students think about HP quality if they are buyers of IT equipment in companies in the decades to come? Will they trust? They won't. And to overcome this will cost much more money than to fix bugs in a calculator!
