They change just one variable of significance: vendor. If you are a bank and you buy a system to process financial transactions, or if you are a retailer with several hundred outlets and a dozen warehouses and you buy a system to manage you supplies, you don't go shop for some hardware from one vendor, an OS from another vendor and a database from a third vendor. You go shop to some integrator where you buy the whole system and who warrants not just the individual components, but also their integration. Representing TPC-C as just a database benchmark and then claiming it to be invalid is a Straw Man fallacy.
