Too much work to do if aircraft retrieved?

It just seems our investigators are all too happy to leave these aircraft wrecks and not recover them. This one (appears to be) hardly in a difficult location and surely having it out of the water and in a hangar somewhere for investigators to piece together would likely reveal clues as to the cause? I sometimes wonder if the decision to NOT retrieve aircraft is the easier option as it allows for a level of broad speculation and generalisation as to what's happened that would be less acceptable if they'd pulled it out.

If it was out and people like bizbug182 were called upon to inspect it and offer commentary based on their level of familiarity surely we'd get a lot closer to the truth (or at a minimum be able to rule certain things out)?
