Because their fucking stupid. Remember when they spent 50 million dollars to fix a lens in teh Hubble that was a few microns off? You know why ? Because when they built it on Earth , they didn't factor gravity into their equations , so once it was in orbit several of the lenses and mirrors "sprang free" causing a distorted image. A few microns doesn't sound like much until your point of focus is trillions of miles away.
I'm just saying that ice on mars has been known about for quite some time.
