Some are outdated and some are more up to date than the current viewer libraries. 
They usually get serious amount of public flack if security issues are not fixed, meaning they are automatically patched when users upgrade their systems. 
~ % otool -L /usr/lib/libssl.dylib

/usr/lib/libssl.dylib:

/usr/lib/libssl.0.9.8.dylib (compatibility version 0.9.8, current version 0.9.8)

/usr/lib/libcrypto.0.9.8.dylib (compatibility version 0.9.8, current version 0.9.8)

I rest my case.

Plus, the majority of libraries consumed by the viewer don’t offer api compatibility between versions making cross-platform development, not to mention QA, all the more painful.
