I think the thing about the ship was that there was no main component — they talked about replacing one board at a time, presumably including main structural members. With a bike “replacing” the frame pretty much means taking all the components off the frame (after which you have a frame plus a large box of separate parts) and putting them on a new frame, whereas replacing almost any other component just means removing it and installing its replacement.
