I guess the forces on a headset aren’t as complex. Cyclist will insist on pedalling (and they don’t even pay road tax).
Plus how often do you replace a headset? I've only ever done one, but I've changed like 10 BBs
I've replaced about 10 threaded BBs. Never needed to replace a pressfit BB.
I think it's fairly obvious that the comparison between a bottom bracket, through which all one's mighty power flows, and a headset, which simply has to keep the front wheel pointing in vaguely the correct direction, is an entirely spurious one.
