As in, desgined to fail early? I highly doubt that.

Even if it were true, lightbulbs still last longer and are way cheaper. Whether I have to replace them every six years or every five years doesn't matter as much.

    Light bulbs originally lasted basically forever, is my understanding. The wires were thick enough to not break with use, and also made of a more durable metal. Then they were made thinner and the metal used changed, so they'd wear out eventually and users would have to buy more.
