I wonder if 10 years is the point when water heaters start to fail or if 10 years is just a "standard" time for replacing a hot water heater. Will they not last 15 years or do they not get a chance to last 15 years because they are typically replaced at 10?

Not that I want to wait to see mine fail, just curious.
