Why do our organs fail before our bones and muscles?

Our bones and muscles are more exposed and do the heavy lifting, so why is it more common to die naturally because our organs are too old and tired?

Organs are single purpose. Bones and muscles are not.

E.g., in the modern developed world, you can live just fine without both your legs and all the associated muscles and bones.

Try living without both your kidneys. Or lungs. Or your one good liver. Etc etc.
