I didn't "have to" but, a few reasons...

Swapping the drive created a pretty easy rollback path that was just "put original drive back"
The drive was ~10 years old, and was in the range of recommended replacement for an SSD with the amount of TBW and age it had.
Original drive was kinda small and a new larger drive was available for not very much money.
