Why do dashboard lights die like dogs in Gen II Auroras?

Just grousing a bit here.
I'm an OC kind of guy with my 2001 3.5 Aurora.
I have literally pulled almost every button (door lock / trunk / fuel / trip odo / steering wheel controls / traction / gearshifter / hazard DIC unit / HVAC controls) plus instrument cluster to solder in new lightbulbs.
I hate driving at night and not seeing my controls, let along not seeing my speedo or tach.
Why are the light bulbs so crappy in these cars?
And I LOVE driving my 2001; it's a wonderful sweet ride for me, and just last week I scored a new driver's side floor mat because mine had a hole in it from wear. I keep it meticulously stock.
I only ask about light bulbs, because I've had a 1997 Aurora since 2011, and NEVER had to change/resolder even ONE single bulb.
Any theories what happened with GM? Did they cheap out on us?
Anyways, that's my vent of the day, team.
Discuss it amongst yourselves.
