Primarily because the people who are (allegedly) experimenting don't know and deploy the rules well enough in the first place to understand why they're breaking the ones that they are breaking.
I recently said at my own office that the next email I see that says "experimental" is going to be a flat NO. Not that we read that stuff, obviously, but still. Just on principle. I suspect we've never seen the next Joyce toddle through here.

I imagine you have had no end of authors who think they've come up with something completely new or experimental that has never been done before and which instead turns out to be pretty old hat.
