Because, like I said, I always understood it was very difficult to
change disks to another system and run the installed solaris version on
that new hardware.

A place where I used to work had several thousand Sun workstations and I noticed that if a system drive failed, the system administrator would just walk up with a replacement drive that had Solaris pre-installed, do the swap, and the system was running in a few minutes. Of course that was quite a while ago (when the world was a cooler place) and things could have become broken since then.
