Because OpenELEC is designed to use a read-only filesystem, and updates like this would go against the whole philosophy of the system. Plus (and somewhat understandably) the OpenELEC developers don't want to support users who are using their own random replacement libraries, which then introduce bugs and weird behaviour.
The solution offered here is a hack, a fortuitous work around, and one that could stop working at any moment if the OpenELEC developers decide to change their boot process (hopefully they don't). So don't go raising any OpenELEC issues while using third-party libraries!
