Which salesmen? I think many users simply change their HDD for an SSD for the performance/speed benefit. You don't need a salesmqn to tell you that.

And some prefer SSD because there's supposedly a lot less change of damage if the notebook is dropped. Is that true?

Most prefer SSD because they are so much faster than HDD, but if you drop your notebook/laptop, it will probably be the screen which comes a cropper before an SSD.

Which part of 'an SSD is sturdier than an HDD' do you not understand?

I changed the SSD on my desktop about a year ago, but I did upgrade everything else as well.

There's  limited capability on my laptop to make the same changes.

Yes, an HDD is a physical thing with very fine tolerances regarding its moving parts. An SSD is not.

I put a SSD into a 10 year old laptop that was on its last legs. Works great now.

Vague statements like this one confirm my OP. 

 

An SSD  being fitted will not repair, for example, a laptop's glitchy monitor, faulty keyboard, or failing motherboard.

Do such salesmen/women even have this knowledge?

As a long-time tech salesman I used to work with told me, he has a rule "never touch the product."

"SSDs generally won’t overheat due to the absence of moving parts, but sometimes they may overheat. A lot of users complain about their SSDs getting overheated and they try to guess the cause behind it. "
