Now, first, understand that I think this is an excellent question and I fully agree with you that there when you got it right, you stop trying to improve it.
BUT.. I am not a "Bean counter" I am labor, not management, and to a management bean counter there has to be a way to "Make it for less" and thus improve profit..... Usually this reduces the quality, but if we phase in this new formulation slowly, they will never notice.
Witness Kentucky Fried Chicken, which you can no longer buy, KFC is NOT Kentucky Fried.... I had the pleasure of eating some of the last Kentucky Fried ever served.. (One "Franchise" was really an O&O (Owned and operated by the manger) had a fairly large sit down place with 3 walls covered at least 3 deep with "BEST IN THE BUSINESS" plaques from the Coronal himself When the new owners ordered him to change the formula to make it cheaper.. HE REFUSED, so they pulled his right to use the trademark.. I had the pleasure of eating there and can tell you his chicken was way way better than KFC.. I might add a federal court judge made the very same statement (There was some legal action).
It can always be made for less, by lowering the quality, and thus increase the profit. (or in my case, loose a customer).
