And worse, they cost ten to twenty times as much as comparable incandescent bulbs, and they honestly don’t even last as long..

And that is all entirely by design. Which means it can be changed. It is an issue with the companies, not the technology.
I had 1 (one) LED bulb fail in the past 10 years.

But I live in the EU, so maybe those LED bulbs follow stricter regulations.

That's not my experience.

Even the cheap LED bulbs last far longer than incandescent ones.
