You mean, that TF2 has had a 9 years headstart in improving and polishing their game's design, add more content etc?
It's hard to throw out core principles or do massive overhauls without starting over. At that point it's no longer a patch. They had many years to consider what made a game good, and what to improve on, and modernize concepts.
