Thermal cycling is one of the biggest stressors electrical components can be subjected to. Leaving your processor on and at a consistent load massively improves the lifetime of the chip. So take THAT, mom!
Heat cycling is a huge stressor on any material. That's part of why diesel freight trucks tend to last well past a million miles while it's newsworthy if a passenger car makes it that long. How many times a week is your Toyota Corolla driving 10+ hours at a time? Most commonly, when you hear of a million mile vehicle, it was making long haul deliveries daily and was maintained at the correct intervals.
I think there are a lot of other factors in that case.
The biggest reason why it's rare to see regular cars get to a million miles is because they don't get driven as much. At the average of 14k miles per year it would take 71 years for someone to drive 1 million miles. Since it takes so long to get there, many non engine related issues start taking hold like rust and obsoletion.
I’m over here just over 30k miles after 6 years
