Insight isn’t dead just hibernating which both MERs did several times.
If Insight dies then Spirit will have lasted 50% longer and opportunity significantly longer, but both rovers lost quite a bit of functionality over time. So, the difference isn’t as stark as you might assume when you consider how much time rovers spent with reduced power or hibernating, stuck, etc.
