As these things seem to rot at ground level and just below but not above,

perhaps the remedy is to seal with bath sealant where the post enters the
concrete, and then smear further sealant up the post for a further couple
of inches above ground level to prevent extended contact with water?

Even pressure treated timber will rot eventually. What I do is either
use concrete spurs or posts or ensure than the post hole is well
drained.
