It may not be difficult to solder in a new part, but having to completely dismantle an motm card, try to unsolder and remove an old chip, and reassemble the whole thing can be one major pain in the ass.  When my dot.com ADSR had a bad chip, I just reached into the back of my case, pulled it out and pushed in a new one.  Took just seconds.
