Does no one replace their water heater anode rods?

People seem to expect their water heaters to last 10-15 years. Are you guys just letting it corrode as soon as the first anode rod is eaten up? How do you go through water heaters so fast?

Most plumbers don't even replace the anode. Makes little financial sense for them. Have you actually done it? Depending on the water heater's placement and whether the anode is jointed, it can be a real pain/usually is a real pain.

Have you ever replaced a water heater?

Heck I buy a new car when i need new tires.. so no I would just buy a new water heater  LOL..
