From what you just wrote, I should expect my heated 02 sensor to fail early.

I'm already committed, so I am going to keep using it as intented and see how long it lasts (aka a tootsie roll pop). Another sacrifice in the name of science!

no it should not fail early
if anything it should last longer ,
remember the 02 heater does not get powered up until the engine is running.
it does not get preheated prior to start
so
the scenario described does not affect your system

assuming;
you selected a heated 02 sensor from a system that does not control or regulate 02 heater on time
