Hello Michael in St. Louie,  you asked :

..and the only reason might be availability of replacement bolts to hold
the two halves together.

The few that I've seen up close had hardware so rusted that the only way
to split the caliper would have been to cut the bolts.  They're sure to
be a high-grade strength type, maybe 5 or 8, and they just might be hard
to find....but then, I haven;t looked.

Just my 2-cent opinion,
