That's the thing. It's not like this is happening without rhyme or reason, like some random event spurred on just to troll us. We've known for a long time how powerful the Hougyoku really is (or have we), yet somehow people are still surprised that Aizen is whipping this stuff out, even when the darn thing is shoved into his chest. Every time Aizen has evolved has followed an instance when his desire was endangered (barring the incubation) - naturally, the Hougyoku can't allow this, because it is in its nature to grant one's greatest desire.
