This is because sub-builds often contain both parts of a hinge or turntable, not just the part that actually rotates, and often have more parts added to them after they're placed in the main model. Groups are very powerful so they work well for this.
Your approach is the overkill version of what I'm doing currently.
I've been resistant to use groups. No real reason why. I guess if I'm changing things I might as well start using them.
