Why are back problems so notorious for being difficult to treat/cure?

Seems fairly rare to hear of someone having a knee, etc that bothers them for years provided it’s been properly treated. But hear about “bad backs” that people fight for decades.

Because most doctors treat the symptoms—pain—rather than the cause. Generally the cause is poor posture or other alignment issues that require exercise, stretching and good ergonomics to correct. But doctors want to give you drugs or do surgery.
