Because they can't guarantee it will last, at all if done this way. Shops don't like partially replacing the internals of an engine.

Don't run it low on oil. There's a big debate going on on JBO about what the root cause is of bearing failure. But as long as there's enough oil, it will be fine. My stock engine still has over 250,000 miles on it with no signs of bearing failure.
