Sometimes they've decoupled too much.  For example, I recently had to rename an Analysis Services instance for SQL Server 2016.  It's actually a fairly easy thing to do, but unfortunately the tool to do that is bundled with Management Studio, which wasn't installed on the server, so I had to install that client side program first to get the server side tool :hehe:
