I think it depends.

Carbon probably has a shorter lifespan just due to the inevitable crashes etc.

I am unaware of any scientific studies, however.

FWIW I just replaced my 25 year old steel frame road bike. It has not "worn" out or rusted, just needed a new one. I chose Ti and am hoping it lasts 25 years as well.

Oh yeah...
