Yes, why enlarge the sweetspot and make iron more forgiving when you can be like say, Mizuno and churn out the same slab of steel with a different number on the back every other year or so.

You do realize that in the iron game (or any equipment), there is no free lunch. More forgiveness is great, but if the weight that is moved to create the forgiveness is from the sweetspot, then workability and the "sweetness" of PURED shots will suffer. Some want the forgiveness, some want the top end performance of blades. This is not an OEM-specific debate, but just a fundamental difference between some golfers preferences. This is why, as you say, mizuno can churn out the same slab of steel, because the people buying said "slab" aren't looking for forgiveness. They want a blade, and that's what they get.
