That's what I thought, but the comments on this article suggest it's not all as it seems:
Merry Sales/Kasai's selling point is "hey look you can fix the hub
without disassembling the whole dang wheel, no unlacing required to
swap out the coil" - that's what they mean by "field serviceable", you
don't have the send the hub back to them to get the coil replaced at
the factory.The non-power-side bearing is independently replaceable. The
coil/plug/powerside bearing are replaceable as a single unit and the
bearing is not intended to be serviced on it's own.Someone got over-excited and made some unfounded assumptions when
writing this article.

Looks promising that the bearings are allegedly user-replaceable.
