Thinking the same thing.

I thought the same thing when I saw it. I suppose it worked for a while.  . Problem is the flaw in the PO;s thinking. As the point of contact is on a swinging arm, perfect alignment of the bearing to the release button would be almost impossible to maintain. So as the bearing contacted the release button there would be not only a radial load but also an axial load on the bearing, IH did it right with the flat contact button.
