Honestly they are well positioned for it. Brose are a german automotive parts mftr, mostly windscreen wiper, electric seat type motors, low voltage (6-24v), high amp, high torque application with a nod to dealing with wet/European outdoor environment. Pretty much exactly what an ebike does.
Bosch did it.
Tried some mid tier Dewalt drill/driver and impact driver tools in 14-18v flavour and much preffered the proper mechanical clutch on it. You could even use their big pro line brushless power monster tool on small cabinet screws/thin wood applications and have incredibly accurate control over the chuck/clutch. The milwaukee is more of a BAM BAM BOOM, kind of a tool.
With Dewalt though, round here at least no real dealers, only 1 year warranty unless your on an account with them/proper trade (?) and they are yellow. Will look manky instantly.
Saw Japanese domestic market Makita are often purple or yellow, and built in Japan (all of it), and often not necessarily a higher dyno/power performance, but the quality of all the parts of it are a solid step up from the export Makita (blue) which are made in China, some by Makita's own owned factory, some by contractors.
