Can Someone Explain to me Why People Don't Reset The Buffs?

I see it in every game I'm in. The enemy team invades the enemy jg and take red or blue but doesn't kill all of them. I don't see a reason for this. It would be much better to just go and take all of them. Let's really think this through. If you leave one of the minions alive then you don't know when they will respawn, won't get that extra 20 gold and you effectively aid you enemy into knowing when to return now that they know you take their buffs. On the other hand, if you do take the buff you get the extra 20 gold, you will know when it respawns and as such can chain the counter jungling to your advantage and effectively make it so that your enemy never gets that buff, considering you do chain the counter jungling well.

It just makes sense to fully clear the buffs, this is not the case for the other buffs though. You leave a wolf or bird or the stone thing. Just, make sure you kill all the minions for the red or blue buff, its so much better that way.

I don't care so much about the buff I care more about the xp/gold Deny, so the longer i can deny that from them the better also if you're going to counter jungle small things take all of the small things.

Not always true. If their mid lane is a mana dependent champ then delaying their blue buff gives your mid lane an advantage, which if played right, gives you time to ward their blue since their mid will be pushed up the whole time.

By leaving one of the small monsters, you ruin the enemy junglers jungle path because he has to go out of his way to clear it if he wants his next buff at the right time. Same reason you would leave the small monsters at any camp.

by leaving the small creep u deny exp/gold for the enemy for some extra time and enemy mid laner will not have the buff for some extra time.

I don't bother reseting it cause I dont need the buffs anyway. Enemy team can't steal what isn't there.
