I hear you but isn't moving a bug to another component an important enough

I would say not. the component is metadata and does not add value to the
bug itself....
it doesn't help in any way shape or form in getting it fixed.
I have a very simple idea on bugs; the value of a bug lies in its
ability to fix something in the OS
that makes the OS better. Anything else around the bug is either neutral
or overhead.
it's not just about the readability of the bug itself (which is
important); it is about the readability
of my, and every developers, bugzilla email folder. If the
signal-to-noise ratio of that folder is not
high enough, I'm sorry but it will get ignored.
Changing some bits in a database, which are just bits on a spinning
piece of rust, that has the effect
of changing components does not add value in any way, shape or form in
my definition of bug value above...
... and thus is "noise" in the bug mail folder.
