Niels Bohr questioning his own model is peak scientific self-doubt. The electrons don't fall into the nucleus because they're in quantized energy states, not because they're making intelligent life choices. Quantum mechanics doesn't care about your logical expectations. Those electrons are just following the rules of physics while we're over here anthropomorphizing subatomic particles like they have a choice. Typical human behavior, expecting tiny negatively charged particles to understand gravity.
