Yeah. I was thinking like the usual 4 piece rock band. You switch one member and it’s ok. Let’s say next year one member dies, so he’s replaced. Still ok. But when there’s ultimately nobody from the original lineup, it’s just not the same band for me. On paper it is, but for me it’s just milking the name…

I agree in general, but I think longevity comes into it too.
If the band lost a couple of members early on, but replaced them, then had decades of success and eventually replaced the remaining originals, you still have the early replacements there, who were involved for most of their career.
It would seem harsh to say it’s not the same band just because none of the original members are there.
