I still make it a rule to change it every year though, and inspect the magnetic drain plug and oil filter really well.
So do you think i should change the bearings because i don't use the car much?

No. I'm simply saying that the evidence for OEM dual row bearings suggests that the odds of failure increase in cars with longer oil change intervals or low use. It's unclear by how much the odds. If your worried and plan to keep your car for a long time, upgrade the bearing and put the problem behind you.
