It seems after every update that more are simply tacked on to the existing product. It would seem to me that it could be more beneficial to replace them instead? This could streamline things and keep certain parts of the code from interfering with the new ones, no?

No, that has nothing to do with the SFS files. The reason for new SFS files, added to the game, is simply, that patches need to be small enough for downloading. If we would just edit existing SFS files, you would have to download almost the whole game each time of a patch. And there is no possibility of dynamical file-changing during an installation - so to call incremental file updates.
