^ Well nobody has much field experience with this type of LED-on-filament tech to determine real lifespan, as bulbs have only been using it for about a year (maybe two?) as far as I know.
The other issue is resistance to power surges. These seem to use a lot more LED dies in series so if there's a step down driver at all, it's not stepping down as much, though it wouldn't surprise me if they only use a current limiting resistor(s). Given the very limited space available for anything more in the metal base, it seems unlikely they have a typical switching current regulated supply circuit like most decent LED bulbs do.

Beautiful look in our bathroom
ok i will consider it
thx
maybe 10k
ok that's enough
better that the so-called life-time bulbs

Thank you!
