How come LED Light Bulbs only last for about 2-3 Years?

I’ve bought and replaced a lot of light bulbs, and I noticed that all of them said “up to 20,000 hours” which would be about 5 years given 12 hours of daily use (which we definitely don’t).

      Well I’ve done it just twice, I don’t even remember what I did, I just soldered things that seemed broken.

      I’m not al electrical engineer whatsoever but the heat unglued the cover of the bulb exposing the circuits so I was like “lemme try”
