My parents had once last about as long. They had a deep freeze that lasted through two moves to and from Hawaii, as well as 15 moves to different houses by Air Force contract movers. It still went over 40 years. It was the ONLY appliance that survived a power line to the house having a tree fall on it and cause the neutral to become a hot and all the devices plugged in got 220 volts. It fried everything in the house, except that old freezer.
Yea, water heaters are like many appliances now, disposable. Our washing machine is an old top loader and over 25 as is the matching dryer. New fridges are the worst for short life. Our is 20 years old.
