Some things are simple enough in concept to not require evolution. The crossword doesn't require improvement for instance. Imagine if you bought a crossword book and found it was full of sudoko. If I buy a Hidden object game I want Hidden Object puzzles, though there are lots of variations on that style, as you point out.
As we're talking about HOGS, allow me to make a few animal analogies:
Saying that something should be what it is isn't a condemnation. I don't want chicken to taste like beef. We don't need to grow dogs with two heads. Sure, you CAN make a game that's halfway between a HOG and an AG and you could theoretically bio-engineer an animal that was half cow and half pig, but ultimately I don't think the hybrid will be as satisfying, or as beautiful, as either.
