I figure what he was feeling (after replacement) was a stronger pressure plate (if it was replaced) and/or a more aggressive clutch disk surface (cause it was new).
There is nothing about a throw out bearing to get "soft". It simple sits there, going round and round), until it's forced to push against the fingers of the pressure plate.

The TOB has been the go to explanation for every weird feel, noise, vibration and everything else under the sun lately and although there certainly are enough documented issues with them they have also been found to not be the problem just as many times. People are overlooking the simple answers to usually minor problems because they become so convinced it is the bearing they don't even look at anything else. There is usually no mistaking a throw out bearing going bad because the squeal will start well before failure (usually) and you will know there is something up not just think there is.
