It’s a pretty simple, basic difference: wheels and cranks and handlebars are supposed to move. Frames aren’t. Therefore no reason for bearings in the frame.
But, like I said...it’s entirely possible Treks frames are better. I just dont see the payoff as being big enough to bother exploring some odd gimmick.
