Right wing propaganda is why they think they’re banned. I replaced some bulbs with LEDs a few years ago and someone I knew, their right wing father wanted to keep all my old bulbs, because they were convinced it would be impossible to buy them again so he was just hoarding as many as he could, because “the LED ones are designed to fail, and the incandescent style are banned.”
I cannot remember a single LED bulb ever failing on me. When I moved in to my current house 6 years ago about 20 bulbs/spots were already LED’s and I replaced another 10 with LED.
None have failed, not the old and not the new ones.
Don’t buy the cheapest crap and you’re good.
And yet it’s still entirely legal to own them, and you can when buy them on amazon. The reason it’s phrased as a right wing conspiracy is because it riles up their base over a literal nothing burger.

isn’t it the other way around?
Both are designed to fail. For LED bulbs it’s the electronics (‘driver’) that usually fails, not the LEDs.

ok, but aren’t the incandescent bulbs faster to fail?
That depends on the price tag, I guess. I’ve had
cheapbudget LED bulbs failing which I had barely used before.The production and sale of incandescents was banned in 2023, what are you on about?
Also stop phrasing things like a right wing conspiracy theorist would. It’s hypocritical

if you do something ironically enough at some point it stops being ironic
