Running all the lights during the day uses up the life of all the bulbs.

Now, as far as disconnecting the DRL resistor, I'm not a fan. The electrical contacts are exposed to the elements. Kill it in the software. That's why the option exists.
Learned something new today! That's why when one switches to LED DRLs, high beam functionality is lost. (At least that's what I presume happens).

Not going to lie, I do like the LEDs...

I hope when I get to your age, I'm as awesome as you are. The way things are going, I'm probably going to be the old dude shouting at kids to get off his lawn.
