I believe the new 11s/12s with their higher chain angles tend to wear faster. They actually recommend changing it with the chain.

I think we're talking about different things.
I am talking about the groupset (the shifters, brake levers, brake calipers, derailleurs, crankset, bottom bracket, chain and cassette).
There are indeed some wear items (chain; cassette, especially if the chain isn't replaced when worn; brake pads; brake rotors) but, apart from those, a looked-after quality groupset can last decades.
