So far i have never replaced any LED bulbs, and the oldest ones i have are 15+ years old.

IME, LED whining gets me to replace them before they actually die. For old people who can't hear it, they should last longer.
Well I've replaced over 10 in like 3 years. They can get much hotter than incandescent, which can damage the internal circuitry. Perhaps personal experience isn't the best gauge of reliability
