It's usually heat dissipation that's the problem. The LEDs are not happy being hot. If you have recessed lighting, you need bulbs with much better heat sinks than exposed bulbs.
We have expensive aluminium finned GU10s for recessed lights, cheapo plastic bodied ones for hanging light fixtures and all have lasted at least three years (even with kids who leave lights on all the time)
