Why should someone replace ALL the capacitors on old Tube equipment?

It seems that some people advocate that.

One of the factors that is often overlooked is the tolerance of the
circuit to the various types of wear-out mechanism.

True. But the reason to replace them ALL is that if you only replace the
one(s) causing a problem, another will fail later, then another still
later. It is much easier to do them all at once than to have to repair
the same unit over and over as they fail one after another. Been there,
done that.
