I agree with you: proper ventilation would be better from the LED lifespan point of view.
However the region where I live is very dusty (fine clay mostly). I think a higher exposure to the environment will affect the lamp´s cooling fan.
Rode around 2500mi so far, facing mostly a hot Summer climate of up to 108°F and a 42°F cold situation at the mountains: the lamp still works perfectly.

Perhaps the optimal LED lamp for our bikes would be one of those that have a couple of laces made with metallic (thinned copper) on the back as heat dissipation device. With these ones a small hole (let´s say, 1-inch) at the headlight cover will be enough to let the braid go out and become in contact with almost open air.
