The problem is that these guys who suddenly emerge aren't seen as having untapped potential, at least anymore than the others around them. To properly account for these players, you would have to essentially have every player have a potential rating that very few would actually reach. This is actually kind of realistic in a way but is going beyond just refining the development model.
There would have to be some way to separate the genuine prospects from those guys who have a slim chance to reach their potential. Even if this idea were implemented, there would be a lot of upset that their prospects aren't panning out and such. So while it could work, it brings a whole new set of potential issues.
