MECHANICALLY simpler. If you're driving along and your motor
controller lets out the smoke, you're not exactly going to be able
to rig up a fix on the road side. Probably not even if you're the
engineer who designed it.

From what I've heard, swapping entire hardware modules around
isn't even straight forward, with different firmware and hardware
revisions involved.
