Sage Intelligence question regarding Sage 100 Premium upgrade- Why can't I just point to the new repository?

I am upgrading a client from Sage 100 2018 Premium with a complex Sage Intelligence install to Sage 100 2021 Premium with no change in Sage Intelligence's version. According to the documentation and a support call, I need to do a clean install of the same version, modify my containers AGAIN, recreate my folder structure, export my reports from the source install ( 50+), import into new SI, and create the cache AGAIN (200+ companies). 

Why can't I just point to the new repository? Is this the truth?
