It's easier for the factory to replace the frame than to repaint it. I also suspect they are concerned about repeatedly removing and replacing the barrel on an aluminium frame leading to a cracked frame.
I won't swear to this, but I'm not sure they will replace or reuse a barrel. My 637-2's frame cracked and I thought they would pop out my barrel and the rest. I got a new frame and barrel with the rest of my parts recycled. I thought it was odd they wouldn't salvage my barrel.
