That is because they need to go through testing and bug fixes in unstable.

What you are asking for is to have experimental be what unstable is now, and
unstable be what testing is now. If the gcc transition were going on in
experimental right now, rather than unstable, unstable would go without
updates to gcc, X, etc. etc. for months, just as testing is right now.
I think if you got what you are asking for, you would switch to using
experimental.
Like you, I enjoy using and testing the latest versions of everything, so I
also run unstable on my desktop. But to do that, you need to be willing to
suffer the occasional breakage and pay close attention to everything that
is going on with Debian.
