I think it was because the writers didn't want to bother with solving
the problems as they were only doing a TV series. ;-) (Not intended as
a flame!)

Another possibility, at least with the original series, is that the
producers didn't know what they were doing. Or, again, didn't bother.
Can we say "Just use the Temporal Flux Field (tm) to reverse the genes
and thus find the cure for the plauge." ;-)

It's after all not the technocal aspects that made ST (Or WC) such an
famous serie. (Game)
