ELI5 : How come forging doesn't seem to have improved since the metal ages ?

I'm a huge fan of "forged in fire" and it seems to me that technology hasn't done a great job of improving this craft. I mean except for things like a power hammer, how is it possible that we're not able to control a quench. 

There are so many "castrophical failures"from what seems to be competent bladesmith. I don't understand how in 2020 there are still variable in that process that we are unable to control.

I'm french so sorry in advance if there are error in the text.

Things like forged by fire and other hand crafted forging is more for the novelty than practicality.

There are modern ways to make knives for example, but they don't make good TV shows or collector items.
