“Wait until you start replacing them more often. My house was built in 1984 and these LED bulbs last about 4-6 months.”

ROTFLMAO! My whole house is LED and I have NEVER had to replace any. They range in age from six months to four years.

Seems like LED lights would not be as reliable. Don't they have to down convert the 120VAC line voltages to a polarized low ~ 1VDC? Of course, they probably stack the LEDs in parallel (or series like your Christmas tree lights). That requires circuitry that can fail.

Or maybe LED technology is good enough now to produce enough lumens from one or more LEDs.
