The electronics don't have 100 components as stated and as LED lighting
becomes more widespread the support circuits will be integrated into
fewer components.

While the support electronics may be less reliable than the LED itself
other factors such as running the devices at elevated temperatures is
more likely to shorten the life. Elevated temperatures will occur if
the bulb is in an inappropriate fitting (inappropriate for a LED bulb)

If you applied the authors logic to LED backlit TVs 1 in 4 would have
already failed.
