Another rationale/benefit of the insert approach was production speed. It took a lot less time to fit up a bite with this system. And time is money when you're making products. The replaceable bite also made later servicing the system faster... and cheaper.
The major culprits in bite/locking bolt interface degradation are poor lubrication of the surfaces, improper cleaning, and heavily loaded cartridges. Just to name a few.
