On: Fifty Years of Transistor-Transistor Logic

Those are important considerations , but:

You did the design a few years ago, before the silego was a good option.

But for many design , esp in consumer , the silego part would be a good fit because it would work as same as discrete parts,it's manufacturing life and reliability(12 years) would be good enough, and it would be better in other parameters.

And once the consumer market is taken, we might see versions targeted at more demanding applications. But it's not certain.

12 years isn't that long. That's less time than XP was around to put it in perspective...

in consumer markets, do people design for lifetime over 12 years ? Because my feeling about consumer market that it's mostly crap, reliability wise.

Rarely. They want it to get through the European statutory warranty and that is it.

I have an oscilloscope built in 1976 by HP and it's showing no sign of any problems yet. I'd like to see more stuff like that on the shelves.
