Some Questions about Resistances, Change Gear, etc.

Okay, maybe these are stupid questions but I´m asking myself for a couple of days:

1. Resistances especially Aether/Chaos
Nearly every build I look at has all resistances capped. This isn´t always easy especially Aether/Chaos so the builds have special devotions, components, etc. to reach this goal.

I´m asking myself: Why? I´m not talking about Fire, Cold., etc, but why have Aether/Chaos always to be capped? Is there any Boss where you need both resistances?

Wouldn´t it be easier to get some change gear instead of taking Devotions/Components just for this reason? For example when playing Port Valbury I need Aether Resistance. Why not change a Weapon with e.g. Oleron´s Blood to the same Weapon with Purified Salt just for this instance? (Okay, for me, it´s easy: One spare Weapon with Purified Salt, one with Imbued Silver).

Would that not be easier and perhaps more effective than to put everything in this "One Gear"?

(Just talking about Vanilla, not Crucible.)

2. Overcapping Resistances
When is this a good idea? Or: Which Bosses use RR? I know of AoM and perhaps Valdaran?

Thank you for any answers.
