It’s great on the bottom and seems like it’ll last the rest of my life.
No pillow is going to last 10years. Your brand recommends changing every 2-4 years depending on the type, of course they are biased to make that number lower, but you still are going to be hurting yourself if you leave it too long. If you wake up with a stuffy nose every morning that could be your pillow for instance.
If longevity is your biggest concern I would recommend something like a buckwheat pillow, when it ages out you can just replace the stuffing for cheap and the waste buckwheat is fully biodegradable. I love mine!

I’m fascinated as to why “not absorbing smells” and the ability to be hosed down were major selling points to you.

LOL, ya got me.
Seriously, washing pillows often jacks them up into scrunched up balls. Also, ever smelled a pillow after it gets old? Not much you can do to renew it. A rubber pillow isn’t going to have issues like cloth. Just change the pillow case regularly.
