Don't be silly. It's not reasonable to expect a seller to fully dismantle a bike just to sell it. And if you feel it is, then where does that end? Are the bearings worn? What's the condition of every thread on the hub?
There are reasonable expectations you have when you make a sale, and a reasonable amount of risk that we all bear. We know that some sales will be duds, we know that sometimes we won't have foreseen all of the compatibility issues. We know that sometimes you buy things where the condition is less than you thought at the time of purchase.
Is there precedent in the world for buying things without fully knowing the condition? Yeah, everywhere. You buy houses based only a visual survey... recent decorations hide almost everything. You buy cars based on visual inspection (no-one gets a mechanic to check the inside of the piston heads before you hand over the cash).
It's unreasonable to expect a seller to do that stuff. And so we buy at risk. And some sales will be duds. But that's just probability and the name of the game.
