Whether you pressfit cups into the frame or thread them in, the bearings are always pressfit. If it’s good for the goose, it’s good for the gander… Any issues are to do with design and manufacturing, not with the nature of pressfit. Threaded BB inserts can just as easily be misaligned in carbon fiber monocoque if the design (engineering) isn’t good.
