The usual asshat reply from nospam. People don't "swap parts all day
long". They do it when needed from time to time.

When a drive is failing, failed or not large enough it is trivial to
remove and replace. About 10 minutes with most desktops.

On a current iMac it can easily take an hour or more. Tedious. And no
reason to make it so difficult other than the Apple aesthetic.
