They still burn out pretty regularly for me, probably at the same rate as non-leds.
As others have mentioned, there's something wrong with your setup. Your entire home should probably only be going through 1-2 replacements per year, vs replacing nearly all of them every year (as was the case with 1000-hour incandescents)
what are you doing with them 😂
Probably buy them from manufacturers that are still part of lightbulb conspiracy 🙃
Was there a fire station in California that had a light bulb from like 1906 that stayed on for like 100 years? This might explain a lot.
There still is likely, but it's not because it was great more of never being turned off, it probably won't ever turn again.

Make sure your fixtures are ventilated. Prolonged heat degrades the capacitor until the power supply dies. The LEDs themselves are generally fine.
There was a cap plague a few years ago and cheap bulbs got the worst of it.
Until recently, super bright versions (150w-200w equivalent) only came from off-brands because none of the name brands wanted to put their name on something unreliable.
If still have regular problems with the LED bulbs, buy them from the dollar store. They probably won't last any longer, but if they're gonna die on you anyway, the cheap ass ones from there still provide the same light as the better known models.
