Such spell casters couldn't effectively function without this option since, as they advance, they'd either get saddled with redundant spells (such as different versions of summon monster) or ineffective spells (such as having the sleep spell at high levels) of which they would be unable to divest themselves. The only solution would be to neglect potentially useful (in the short term) spells in favor of those that are certain to remain useful over the long term. It'd be a crippling limitation; which is why the ability to swap spells was originally introduced in 3.5.</p>The ability to swap out spells is indeed an integral part of a spontaneous caster's spell casting.
