You seem to have been unlucky, that's not been my experience. Both my systems listed in 'My Computers' below are old. System One is from 2011 and until a few months ago was my main machine, typically running whenever I'm awake and only hibernating while I sleep. Currently its hard drive (still the original) shows total powered on time of three and a half years.
System Two is a 2009 model and when I'm not using it as a test machine is literally left running 24/7 to act as a file server.
