Good question. The answer is simple. God abides by God's laws and satan doesn't. So God had to figure out a way to achieve victory while still keeping his word. While satan is not concerned with keeping his word, much less God's Word. He is a law breaker through and through seeking to defy God.
I think we all want to break laws and defy the authorities at some point in our lives. (usually our younger years) I used to race cars and motorcycles and it felt good breaking laws and in essence giving the fingers to cops for writing me tickets in the past. So I can relate. God doen't keep me from learning my lessions the hard way, even through that is not his preferred method for me.
