I don't assume that they can't improve their weaknesses.  Some may, some may not.

However, there are other risks by staying longer.

(1) a career ending injury during a college game, or even not career ending, may be perceived as "damaged goods" or "injury prone".
(2) coach wants that player to do something other than improving his weaknesses for the benefit of the team, such as playing out of position or drive more shoot less or play exclusively zone.
(3) even if staying longer and working to improve, the improvements may not be significant enough to out do the fact that the player is going to be a year older and thus have less "upside" to be seen by NBA scouts.  The NBA are drafting players on potential and upside.  So if an NBA team drafted Tyler Ennis hoping/betting that he might turn into a Jason Kidd one day, if Ennis had come back for year two, the same NBA team might say "yes he is shooting 3% better but I can see how he is not Jason Kidd" and he drops to round 2.

Finally, why can't the same player improve all his weaknesses by playing in the NBA or G-league?
