Why Bosch doesn't have their PBD-40 mini drill press, available in the US, I'll never understand.

I for one would love a smaller version of the Nova (Teknatool) Voyager, or Viking (but made by a different company lol.). But the bells and whistle on them are more than I'd ever need. So a scaled down version with less... stuff... would be great. Just a simple direct drive drill press without belt changes, and a speed control. Maybe splurge a bit for a reverse feature, so if I ever git frisky, i could tap left handed threads lol (like if i wanted to mess with someone's head 100 years from now when they see what I was working on, and screamed at me for causing them to shear a few bolts. Lol.)
Tbh, I've made drill press type tools a few times, but getting variable speeds from an electric handrill isn't easy.
I have full size drill presses (a 10 and a 16) but both are a belt adjusted speeds, and having 1 arm, changing a belt speed

Plus, the people at Teknatool are... not very... well they're just 💩 . I'm about a mile away from Teknatool (the company appointed by Nova to do their drill presses).
They never answer emails or phone calls, and many of the drill presses they ship out have issues. My turning friends love their lathe chucks, but they know if there's ever an issue, then they will have to go on an adventure to get it resolved.
I kept wanting to go in to talk to someone, but they're never there. It's like a laundering front ??? lol.
Hopefully, someone makes a simpler version of a DVR press. My drill presses stay at one speed setting because I just can't change the belts.

I did recall your account of teknatool's customer service. For some reason I thought they were in NZ, though. Anyway, I can imagine that down time battling lacking customer service would be an enormous setback for someone whose profession depends on the tool, so I can understand why it wouldn't be worth the risk, superior tool or not.

Doesn't look like wood working tool.
