it's because the AI controls teams... it can be updated, but it's going to make decisions based on the ratings and various realted sliders sthat provide some differentiation from one AI team to the next.

imo, they should just 'force' it the first year to save some time, if they do put in a ton of hours fudging ratings to make AI use similar rosters. that's a corner worth cutting... it's arbitrary at best no matter what decision is made in most cases -- i.e. arguebly both correct in most cases etc...

minors has a whole other part to consider too. stage of development isn't based on anything as concrete as say a 5-year MLB vet. it's a total crapshoot on top of all the same reasons above for the mlb.

ootp is a simulation. it makes choices. it's impossible for those choices to match the real world lock-in-step -- unless it isn't a simulation anymore and they just key it in from live updates (maybe this is a good future suggestion -- seems reasonable and wouldn't not forced on all people. a continued sophistication of the live update feature. i'm not 'against' you even if i don't prefer to play it that way.). until the dynamic changes, this will only be a source of frustration if you think of it differently and self-inflicted at that.
