I may well be off, but almost ten years of service with a power supply replacement and who knows how many after replacing the capacitors don't seem to me that bad.
Power supplies (not necessarily those from Mikrotik) tend to be a common enough failure point on a lot of electronic devices, unfortunately the trend is to use "proprietary" ones, often integrated in the main board or in satellite board with additional (besides the +/- main voltage lines) "strange" secondary voltages and control connections, so that replacing them is impossible if not with the appropriate spare (that the manufacturer rarely provides).
All this while we are invited to not waste precious resources, recycle, etc., BTW:
