Sub-assembly swapping is easy with contemporary PCs because all the parts are relatively common and inexpensive. Swapping power supplies to debug a motherboard isn't going to help if the fault is good at destroying power supplies. Killing a power supply isn't going to help the next motherboard if the newly blown power supply destroys that motherboard, too. Swapping memory chips between motherboards that are destroying memory chips is a sure route to frustration and wasted chips. With classic hardware, there may not be an easy source of extra subassemblies. With new hardware, it may be impossible to secure proper documentation and it may be difficult to impossible to decipher what's happening inside of such tiny chips. - John
