I may be reading your point incorrectly, but you mention no reason FOR a change, except change. I think that is fine on your own property, but wasteful when it comes to property that is public or common. If the change has an associated cost, on public or common property, change is usually passed to those public or common owners, often when they don't want it. Bureaucrats famously build things just to associate themselves with "getting things done".
