Is it conceivable that lightbulbs are produced with shorter lifespans than are technically feasible? Yes, certainly. Wouldn't surprise me in the least. The manufacturer wants to maximise their profit, not benefit mankind.
The part of your quote I was referring to was not that, but the claim that an "everlasting" lightbulb had been invented and suppressed. That is the "urban legend".
