Imagine a company network: You cannot even close your "windows and doors" because your Windows machine needs to be connected to other Windows PCs. Do you want to install a linux machine or a router in front of each windows machine, just to be sure it won't be infected with trojans via RPC or other services? No. So you don't have no other choice than to install the SPs. One single trojan inside of your network and all machines would be infected.
Ever tried to go online directly (without firewall/router) with a fresh installed Windows XP? It will be infected with trojans/virii within a few seconds.
Why not a completely new series of ID games? I hoped they'd wait a bit with new sequels of DooM. We waited about 10 years for Doom3! And now they are doing it like EA! Doom3, Quake4, Doom4, Quake5, Doom5... boooooooring! Yeah, it's a pitty that DooM becomes now an engine demonstration product, too. What about a new game? No more creative people working at ID Software? And don't tell me about Rage. How about something new and innovative? I Guess, Rage 2 and Rage 3 aren't far.

It's new and from Microsoft. And there are several other not so important technical reasons.
