That's because you misunderstand the nature of digital & semiconductors. That's the same problem, for example, with digital communication vs analogue. Once I have information that takes a finite set of values to transmit, I'm adding an error code (block, convolutional) and then analogue part of the method I'm using to transmitting these finite set values + error code and the variations that happen in that analogue process do not matter. I can use light, modulation of RF, sound, smoke ... In case of smoke, I'll see the color of the smoke and I'll make a weigthed decision to know if this is back or white - then I'm going to pass that through my error correcting code and I'll know if I have X errors and if I can recover them or not. But if the result is no error, the smoke can have been very gray in general, or well differentiated between black and white, it does not matter. If the smoke is very gray, I'll have more case where I'll know that what I've received in incorrect, so I'd need to add a longer error correcting code - that's all That's the same for semis. Of course things change, over time, temperature, voltage ... but the analogue nature of the change does not change the result in any sort of linear way. Burn-in is to make components pass or fail, not to make them reach their normal operating mode. I'm not saying that nothing shall be subject to burn-in of course, I'm saying that for the digital part of semi-conductors, it is not a parameteric exercise.
