The article commented on the positive effect of high pressure loading on the IMS bearings due to elastohydrodynamic effect. First time I recall reading that.

IIRC the failures were thought to be more frequent in lightly driven cars. Maybe this explains why. Or maybe frequent track-type loading is required?
