bearings wear out and need to be replaced from time to time, regardless of how they are fitted in the frame. if the bike is ridden in foul conditions or just ridden a lot, some riders will go through more than one BB set a year, easily. threaded, press-fit, any spindle size, etc. they all need to be replaced. I don't think the comment in question implies that the BB necessarily needed to be replaced more often than others.
