Maybe that's because so many have failed and had to be replaced. I
have to assume that the claimed lifetime of 50,000 hours (a decade or
two at our typical usage) is just a wild extrapolation from their
testing programme and wouldn't rely on that at all.

These wild claims for life would be more believable if they were backed up
by a suitable warrenty. 50,000 hours would be approx 20 years at 6 hours
use per day.
