It's not that simple and there is exactly zero data to back that up. Plain bearings are not permanent and do wear/fail. It's just a fact. That's why you replace them when rebuilding an engine.

Until many have been pulled and measured for wear after 50k, 75k, 100k miles, and until many of them have done years of service without failure, it's all just guessing and marketing hype.

I would trust it more than a single row ball bearing, but the price is ridiculous.
I'm glad I have a dual row that will only be replaced with the same.
