It's not exactly the same semantics.

In particular, the standard traits allow for polymorphic types, any code that would do a memcpy without checking for that would lead to nasty UB.

How special members contribute to relocatability is also different, the standard requires non-deleted assignment.
That would also break code or be forever non-conforming and portable.
