Yep
Brake fluid is strange stuff, bit like us and carbon dioxide our bodies love it but it kills us :eek Brake fluid loves water (hydroscopic) and loves tiny air bubbles, some you can't even see with the naked eye :eek When many bleed brakes they do so not only wrongly and too fast, but with fluid that's been shaken. Some of the stories owners tell via forums is utterly laughable, like pushing fluid in from the bottom, this just crates an almost cavitation effect and produces 1000's of tiny bubbles :rolleyes Brakes are also like hearing and eyesight they fade over time and you get used to it. It's not until they jump on something else or their brakes are bled properly that they realise just how bad they were. Spongy brakes will pass an MOT brake test, what you lack is the bite and feel, as you've said your Bonnie, is firm.It's like everything it's all easy when you know how.
