Default No bearing = no bearing problems

That's true. However, it seems that cheap (sub-$30 retail) pedals use loose ball, notionally adjustable bearings, and only the more expensive pedals use plain bearings and/or cartridge bearings. There are of course both decent and awful pedals on both sides of that divide.

The noteworthy exception I've seen to the cheap pedals-cup & cone bearings correlation is horribly cheap Walmart/Bell pedals that use cast plastic bodies turning on smooth steel spindles with no discrete bearings at all.
