Tell me, are you honestly going to suggest you knew every aspect of SP2? SP3? prior to installation?

Eh...right buddy.
...MS makes full details of every service pack available, and it doesn't usually even take that long to at least read through them.

Vista SP2, for example, comes with an excel spreadsheet with an item by item list of what's in it and links to the relevant online detail of what each entails.

I think you have a slightly exaggerated view of how difficult it is to get the information in question. It's relatively simple and painless. The only downside is that it does take time, and alot of people don't like doing what they consider "a waste of time".
