The advantage is being able to replace the GPU, RAM, etc without having to throw away the VRMs.

Those VRMs are not that expensive, and you can't realistically move them far away from the load without constantly under- or over-voltaging the transistors you're trying to power.
Your power company does not deliver 5 volts to your house for your phone charger, nor does it transport 240 VAC more than a few parcels.
