I try to get 10-15 years out of starter

My understanding is it doesn’t use the starter. It fires off whatever piston is at TDC. To me a bigger concern would be a lack of oil pressure/drain back at every stop sign. Either the engineers have that problem figured out or are willing to trade the decreased longevity for increased fuel economy.

Sure sounds like a starter on ones I have pulled up next to at a light. And the older ones are sounding pretty loose.
