I have been replacing LED bulbs at a much higher rate than that for one
particular fixture. They aren't lasting even 10 thousand hours (why that
is happening, I have no idea - if the fixture was wired up wrong, the
incandescent bulbs I had been using wouldn't had lasted as long as they
did).

They aren't designed to last very long, that's the problem.  The typical
cheap American ones fail more frequently than long-life incandescents. 

But there's no reason you can't make more expensive ones with much longer
life, like the ones required for use in Dubai.  The problem is that people
don't want to pay more money for a better product unless they are forced to
do so.
