I'm saying that this part likely sees extremely high repeated shock loading, so the analysis of it is more complex. This poor little part has such a huge job to do.
My thought was that electrical braking would not even begin to approach the load demands of a full forward-full reverse transition, so the shock loading from that would be negligible in comparison. That's just a thought experiment though, not supported by any evidence.
