Yes, I remember the light bulb manufacturers landed on ~1,000 hours as it was a sweet spot in terms of bulb life versus power consumption. What you paid having to replace the bulb every 1,000 hours was made up for in savings on your power bill. In adjusted dollars, electricity was much more expensive back then. Perhaps later on the sweet spot might have been 2,000 hours but the downside would have been light with a more orange tinge. So they stuck with what people were used to.
With LEDs there's no such trade off. CCT more or less stays the same at lower power levels, while efficiency goes up.
That 100 year bulb barely glows. It really doesn't give much useful light. Besides that, I'm sure with robust electronics, plus underdriving, we could make an LED fixture these days which not only puts out a useful amount of light, but will also light for many centuries. I have one of the original Luxeon LEDs which has been running continuously at 350 mA since 2004. It's dimmed somewhat and gotten very yellow, but it's still running. LEDs have improved a lot since then. LED night lights I modded in 2010, which are on 24/7/365, appear to be about as bright as when I made them, with no shift towards the yellow. That's ~110K hours of run time.
