To be fair, they have to create all-new content from scratch to fit within a very specific block of television time. Being told something has to be squeezed into 2 episodes or stretched out to run six to eight weeks isn't the same as being able to turn an existing manga storyline that is already laid out into a television show with a pretty good idea of how many episodes it will take.

When it comes to creating new content, retelling canon manga on television only really involves adding a little fluff dialogue and a few flashbacks if a few extra minutes need to be filled.
