It's because computer security is only a small piece of the security big picture. It doesn't matter how technically secure your systems are if you have a malicious trusted insider carrying sensitive data out, or performing sabotage. How resistant is your entire system to rubber hose cryptanalysis? If a bunch of guys tried to forcibly take control of your data center with machine guns, how secure would your system be? The NSA has offices out there with a bunch of Windows XP boxes - but where they have customized hardware based encryption with at the data entry/exit points, incredibly strict key management policies, TEMPEST shielding, armed users, detailed destruction procedures, and incendiary grenades sitting in the corner.
