Becuase it was a typical MS user experience. MS was shipping their software on 25+ install floppies. Having an install fail on floppy 19 was a nightmare. Getting a fax modem that shipped with the PC to function could also be a problem MS would blame the vendor and the vendor blamed MS.

He would bot only send that email, but in addition he would somehow oversee/sypervise those changes ALL the way until he was satisfied.
