I guess the idea is that it is a closed environment devoid of any oxygen so no chance for anything to grow. Stale beer in the lines could still be an issue, though.

Exactly. I don't do anything other than unhook one keg and hook up the other. I always pull a couple of pints to suck out some of the trub anyway so stale beer isn't an issue.

I have to admit, this gets done a lot here. One keg to another. You would think 4 taps is enough - not always. But I'm reasonable about cleaning lines. Just replaced all the lines and tore down the taps not so long ago. BLC is great.
