Not exactly. It's just that they aren't really "drop-in" parts in each and every pistol.
Also, since the aluminum frames can develop peening inside the angled cuts where the barrel lugs ride (in a way that the steel frames wouldn't normally develop, steel being harder than aluminum), sometimes the extent of the wear inside the aluminum frames may complicate things.
