I would rephrase this as "cannot reassign multiple transactions at once". You *can* easily reassign a single transaction pretty easily, but if you want to rebalance your account tree -- you're right, it's much easier to go from too many accounts to fewer accounts (when you delete an account you can reassign, en-masse, all of its transactions to another account).
