So by designing our own custom power conversion components we could reach 100 000 hours ?

  Yes. I have several lights comprised of LED's and simple power supplies I built ages ago. They are dirt simple, but probably not as cost effective to make. Mine use a small transformer, full wave bridge rectifiers, a couple capacitors and a few resistors in parallel. Nowadays, you could make a small switching power supply, like those found in laptop power supplies, but smaller... but I know that won't happen because the bulb would cost several times more.
