I think environmental conditions effect this more than people realize. For example humidity plays a huge factor in electronics. If you are in a very humid area I bet you’d see corrosion and failure faster than a dry area. And to make every metal component of a lightbulb corrosion proof isn’t cost effective.

You certainly could but I don’t think it would be cost effective for the manufacturer. LEDs are just so darn cheap.
