Piston needle bearings vs bushings?

Mine is a 2009 and has needle bearings on the wrist pin.

Picture of my needle bearing and a wrist pin diameter measurement compared to a stihl bearing that fit most other motors, but not mine.

(If you are interested)
 
My old HT is stamped 2008 and it has needle bearings. I thought bushing's were obsolete by now. Maybe bushings are making a comeback??
