Since only apparently anecdotes count as pertinent for you, here’s one. I haven’t bought a bulb in over 12 years. My LEDs have simply not gone out. I had changed bulbs nearly every 6 months before that.

Maybe spring the extra couple of dollars and get high quality LEDs.

Not anecdotes but practical data. Yes if you power cycle incandescents all the time at maximum brightness they will not live long (when I was a kid we used them this way and changed them often). Read my comment about correct exploitation
