Q: "Why are there so many rocks that don't make it to the rings?"
A: They are "guards" and are meant to either protect rocks that are either in the house or will be in the house. This question begets a longer discussion on strategy whicj I plan on getting to at some point.
There is something called the "Free Guard Rule" which means that no rock NOT in the house may be removed from play until after the fourth stone of the end has been played.

From SR: What are the rules of engagement for sweeping after contact between stones in the house? Seems like I've seen both teams sweeping both stones, but perhaps I'm mistaken.
