This is not meant to become a fundamental discussion about LEDs or not LEDs... in an automated house, nothing should actually be on often and for a long time... because among other things, you install bus systems in the house so that lights turn on and off as needed and automatically.
As an accent and background lighting, I totally agree with you, but not as the main light source.
I have just shared my experiences; what one makes of them is up to each individual.
