The question I asked before was,why do you "life" your bearings at such low milage/years since theyre so much better than the original bearings and many many cars are known to have gone beyond 100k miles on their original bearings? Will I still need to change my double row retrofit bearing in five or six years time,even if it has lets say 20k miles on it?

These are realistic periodic service recommendations. Unlike those who admit "they don't know" how long something will last that they may sell (but they sell it anyway as a lifetime part) the LN products have been truly developed. The lifespans that are stated came from the hourly ratings of the ball bearings, by the manufacturer, as well as what has been seen in practical applications.
No one (at LN) wants to set an expectation that ANY ball bearing will last forever, so from day one the components have had a service life, in years, and miles.
Yes, even if you put 500 miles on a bearing it can have too much time in service if it reaches the recommended service interval. Corrosive wear is real.
