I don't believe that the other bolt-on builders do action adjustments by removing the neck. Taylor uses the two-shim NT system (patented so others cannot use it) including the fret board extension pocket.

If you need to do a neck reset on the typical standard bolt-on system, that involves shaving or sanding the heel of the neck slightly to change the neck angle. Shaving or shimming the saddle is far easier until you have to do major surgery - less intense than a dovetail reset but still not trivial. And many of them have the fret board extensions glued to the guitar top, complicating things.
