Suppose this situation occurs playing bar box 9 ball:

You just broke and pocketed the 2 ball.

The one-nine combo is dead in the corner, so your opponent concedes the rack.

Now you want to re-rack using one of the extra balls (10-15) left over.

So we choose the 10 ball and will add that to the eight balls left on the table (we are playing nine ball).

Now here are the options -
A)
you use the 10 ball to replace the 2 ball (intuitive interpretation, they are both blue) keeping 9 ball as money ball

B) you make the 10 ball the money ball (literal interpreation of rotation using nine balls)
 
Keep it simple

The highest ball on table is always the money ball. Confusing to have a lower numbered ball the money ball. Just common sense.
