Is there such a thing as a truly non-stick pan?

16. My nonstick gives me between 3-5 years.

That depends on the ues. I got a fancy Scanpan on sale with an extra discount, 5 years. But I canstill use the lid on other pots so... I use only plastic, silicon or wood tools. I don't overheat them. One cooks tip. as you preheat a nonstick pan, put a drop or two of oil in it. when it starts to smoke it is hot enough but under the 500 degree too hot limit.

I have had good luck for inexpensive fry pans at Smart and Final stores in CA. Professional grade and handles you can put into an oven. All my frypans go into an oven on occasion. So it is a requirement for me to have a metal handle.
