>Maybe this could be a prosumer retrofit thing, where the AC voltage gets converted to DC in the junction box, and then DC is sent down to the fixture.

The problem is that in 99.99% of homes outlets are on the same circuits as light fixtures, you would need to do some major rewiring.

No, I'm saying you put a module into the junction box that the light fixture is attached to that serves as an AC/DC adapter, current limiting driver, and possibly a dimming sensor that would then provide downstream DC voltage to retrofit A19 bulbs.

Those bulbs would then have no internal switching systems to burn out and rely entirely on the module hidden behind the wall to handle their power needs.
