The material strength will degrade over time even when stored in warehouse -- slightly better than exposed to sun but not immune to it. It's recommended to replace every 3-5 years. If they are manufactured too early then you get less usable life.

I used to be very absolutist about always wearing a bike helmet, but my views have become more nuanced. I still almost always wear one when riding, and would recommend the same for most people (especially outside of places like the Netherlands with insanely good bike infrastructure). But I don't quite view it with the same nigh-religious fervor anymore.
It's never good to be too dogmatic about anything. If somebody, say, decides to hop on a bike share for a short trip and doesn't have a helmet with them, I'm not going to judge. The risks are relatively low for any individual trip. They start to add up if you never wear one.
Those ratings are a blessing and a curse.
Abundance of data should be used to weed out really bad ones but shouldn't be dismissed or you choose one over the other just because of the rating superiority even though one with higher rating isn't comfortable.
If they are 4 stars and above (about half of them), then they are acceptable. Try on and get one that YOU are comfortable with. Highest rated most expensive helmet is useless if you don't wear it if they are uncomfortable. Protection level diminishes greatly if the design forces you to wear them incorrectly as well.
Fit and comfort should be right up there along with the safe design (rating).
Also, there were some tests done that warns against FAKE expensive helmets (Amazon/Ali Express). If $200 helmets are being sold for $50 or lower, then you should be weary about them (one of the reason to NOT get super expensive helmets at a bargain unless you can vet the supply chain)
