Well ... the bore could change somewhat, depending on the quality of the wood, the weather, the amount of use, how often it was swabbed or not swabbed, the saliva chemistry of the player, the oral hygiene of the player, etc. Also, the tone hole grain gets washed out and require sealing and repair. They keys could get worn enough that they are too loose to remedy, perhaps.
Another factor is that people just want something new from time to time ...
Maybe instead of "blown out" the instruments are more like "worn out".
Interesting to see if the greenline material survives longer ...
