Same here. It's possible their modern stuff isn't as good, given that many
buy on price rather than quality these days.

My most recent Bosch purchase was a random orbit sander (PEX 400), which
seems to me as well thought out and put together as any of the other
Bosch tools I have. I'm a little surprised about the cordless drill
failing in such an obvious way, but bearing wear isn't likely to be
caused by a manufacturing fault.
