Man ain't nothing one disease. Look at COVID. Why did the vaccine fail. Not one disease. Population variation of the virus. blah blah. Renal failure - shades of grey, shades of causes. Heart failure - shades of grey, shades of failure. High blood pressure - how high? Why? Who says it's high?
You see? Your point is unremarkable in the face of all diseases.
The handwavey reddit tier explanation you're shooting for is that cancer is genetically unique in each person. Which really is a gross oversimplification, there are non-unique genetic components of that are common themes across many cancers- TP53, PIK3CA, BRCA, KRAS, MSH, etc etc.
So such an explanation is lame because if there's all these common genes than it seems curable - which it would be if that were the long and short of it. Reason it's hard to cure is half those genes I name jack up replication machinery so it makes errors all the time. So now our cancer is not a genetically unique cancer, it's billions of genetically unique cells in one body, always mutating. Now it's not drug developer versus cancer, it's drug developer vs Charles Darwin, evolution. And of course there is a solution for that. Immunotherapy, or as the link shows, immunostimulation. Because the immune system also uses evolution / artificial selection!
