They figured they could just scrape the old sealant out and if some fell in the engine then "oh well it will be fine" or they could just slap some new stuff wherever was handy because "all those holes can be needed anyway".
Who knows really? Why does anybody take shortcuts and screw things up? Maybe their dog was sick that day, their wife was screwing around with the mailman, they were really hungover, oh god the list could go on forever.
Keep in mind that the error could be just a couple of pieces of old sealant falling in the wrong place or a simple zig when they should have zagged putting on the new stuff. Probably took a fraction of a seconds inattention to ruin an engine.
