I'm all for real leather. Real leather lasts and holds up well.
Apple's last several leather cases were some of the worst quality leather I've ever seen. I don't know how you got years out of one. 6 months seems ludicrously optimistic.
It doesn't have to be extremely thin, and there are plenty of quality leather cases that exist for phones, including the iPhone. The thickness of most cases is more than sufficient for a leather product with durability.
Apple's just makes bonded leather look premium.
I think they were good when they first came out and became cheaper over the years. It’s ok though I’m perfectly happy purchasing a higher quality leather case from a 3rd party although I’m using a silicone one right now.
The second it gets sticky or begins degrading I’ll replace it though.
