You must use some cheap LED bulbs. I've been using LED bulbs in my house for about 10 years now and I've only had one fail and it was replaced under warranty.
That could well be the problem. The trouble is, it's hard to *avoid* cheap-junk. No matter who the manufacturer, no matter what the price, they still all come from China, and there is no discernible difference in quality.
Another issue (for me at least) may be that my AC line voltage runs on the high side -- 120-124 vac on average. Nice for charging EVs; but hard on things that were designed "right on the edge". I've replaced many electrolytic filter capacitors in things, and have built little boxes with step-down transformers in them to to run various vintage electronic devices where I don't want to over-stress them.
