Your statement that replacing the machined surface with a chrome steel ball would be an improvement is quite wrong.
If you look at the bearing you will see that it is machined as an oblate hemispheroid to increase the effective radius at the contact point, thereby decreasing the load stress and increasing the toughness of the bearing. If the machining is done the right way the apparent surface roughness is not very important as the apparent roughness is orthogonal to the direction of motion.
Bottom line: Technics engineers really know what they are doing. It is important to understand why they made a particular decision before reversing it.Mark Kelly
