the bridge is arranged a certain way (some of them have ridges in slightly different spots for the endpoint of each string) so restringing it would be... unpleasant. more involved than just the strings. some of them, the body of the guitar is shaped to hug your body. I can think of a few different guitars in the family collection and why it wouldn't work, but like, it's usually more complicated than just the strings

As a lefy this is more or less spot on. Pick guards are also on the wrong side usually

You mean there on the right side.

i forgot about the pegs for the strap too.

Pick guards are for guitars that weren't varnished properly.
