I think there are two schools of thought:
a. People who talk about such stuff on forums
b. The real world
In my experience dealers when you're selling to them are in camp A. and then switch to camp B. when you're buying.
I have a simply wonderful 66 Strat which is (to my knowledge) on it's third switch, which actually fits - to have a guitar with the lacquer worn away off most of the neck from playing but not having worn out a 'bought to a budget' switch makes no sense and worries me far more.
Similarly with re-frets, and again I think the a/b choice above applies
"Take these three items, some WD-40, a vise grip, and a roll of duct tape. Any man worth his salt can fix almost any problem with this stuff alone." - Walt Kowalski
"Only two things are infinite - the universe, and human stupidity. And I'm not sure about the universe." - Albert Einstein
The equivalent of cutting a J200 down to a Dove.
Bear in mind also that Leo Fender originally thought that if you wore a neck (or rather the frets) out, then you'd just take the old neck off and put a new one on, so he didn't intend players to be so precious about the guitars
Many guitars have a re-sale value. Some you'll never want to sell.
