I switched all my home's light fixtures and lamps to LED bulbs 5 or 6 years ago and I really like them. I can't remember the last time I had to change a burnt-out bulb.

I change out burned LED's all the time. The LED COBs might be rated for tens of thousands of hours but the driver circuitry isn't.

The LED bulbs create almost no heat,

That's also bullshite. I have thermal images of LED bulbs well over 120F at the base where the driver circuits are housed, that's why large LED bulbs have heat sinks built into them.

Sometimes I think people just hate change so much they'll gripe about anything...

I think people, like you, buy into stuff because they are fundamentally uneducated and don't grasp much beyond what their simple minds can process. LED's use less total wattage but take vastly more energy to create, ship, and are more problematic as landfill waste. A conventional incandescent bulb requires only a fraction of the mass to create, and will eventually break down into insignificant materials and oxides. LED bulbs will be dug up mostly intact centuries from now but the dimbulbs of humanity are patting themselves on their backs because of how environmentally conscious they are for mandating/using them.
