In an ironic way this speed of improvement of Linux is a strength for Windows.
Yep, this has often been debating in the community, but there is no real political will to change things. It would mean largely standardising the distributions and what they ship: right now there is no political institution that can really bring the distros into line except the LSB and they are not really up to the task for desktop systems.
Stuff like autopackage was designed to solve part of the problem but the real issue is that too many people perceive distros being in firm control as a good thing.
