Most problems are encountered long after the seeds of the issue has been planted. Sometimes "fixing" the problem is less about fixing the symptom and more about root causing and discovering the underlying reason why its happening. It feels like often you start really by understand the issue at hand, at a deeper level before you can even think about what's going on. 

However, root causing the issue is, but honestly, a lot of work -- because if forces you to really understand in as much as depth as possible today (with today's knowledge) why something is happening, and you constantly have to doubt what you know, and go deeper into the problem. And sometimes you don't have enough time, or don't have enough domain knowledge, or we collectively as a species don't know of a better way to solve that problem yet

Everything you said is so true. Most of the time we think we are solving our problems instead we are only stopping the few things or the effects of the main root cause so we end up having the same issue over and over not knowing that what is initially causing it is still there. 
But I believe this has to do with the human brain cause in some cases, we love to see thing get done fast especially when it comes to things inconveniencing us. So I believe this is a big factor to why we don’t end up solving our root problems
