because epoxy extends the life of the concrete itself so it's
inherently better? *I'm a little confused about the strength of your

Statement based on experience with epoxy paint put down on my
commercial auto repair shop floor in 1974 (by me and with Sears 2 part
of that era). Floors under the lifts held up remarkably well to the
normal abuse of a work environment. Some unpainted areas did not fare
so well. At present the worn off areas need recoating for
appearances.
Further, there are commercial firms doing epoxy injection to seal
concrete cracks, so we know that the materials have a high level of
compatibility. Of course, in the industrial world there are long time
successful companies offering concrete improvement treatments, but
these are a bit much for an individual. YMMV
