Electric motors have two bearings and easily changed at that.

All electric motors have easily changed bearings? Think you need to get
out more. Besides, when a bearing fails, damage may not be restricted to
the bearing itself.

How many are in an IC engine? *Fifty? Sixty? More increases the chance
of failure.

You missed the fact that bearing failure is most unusual on a modern
engine? But since you are such an expert, perhaps you'd give details of
when this last happened to you or yours?

Simpler is always more reliable all else beingequal.

I had to fit new big end shells and main bearing shells to a Rover V8
engine about ten years ago.
