When you have a single fixation system for the bulb, maybe.
But here (France !), I have two different system: screwing or bayonet mount.

So, it's not just "count, buy the number of bulbs and replace", each
mounting system must be checked and counted separatly.

Moreover, the impact of trashing still working apparatus is still a bit
disturbing.

I heard I'm not in the only country with such dual system. And bayonet
is the best system for customer, despite the extra-cost of the receiving
device (it's more than just a foil of metal pushed by a press). It's
easier to put and remove a bulb, and there is no tension on the external
body.
