Well ours was just fine for 23 years. Only reason we did it is because we
had gone over the rest of the house while we weren't living in it. Nothing
fancy, new laminate countertop, new sink, stove, and carpet. Painted the
stained cabinets white.

what is the "lifetime of a kitchen"?

Kitchens can last many decades if built soundly, but usually cosmetic
and functional issues knock the lifetime down to ten or fifteen
years. One would think that the better the initial remodeling the
longer the life span, but that frequently gets marginalized in upscale
communities. People want to put their thumb print on their house and
the old kitchen's just gotta go.
