There are any number of reasons that betas don't live out their 2 year lifespan. The most common causes are being kept in a fishbowl. These animals require waters of at least 80 degrees, up to 86. They need filtration, not just air bubblers as people often keep them with. They need frequent water changes, with dechlorinator used every time. Their pH should be neutral, and ammonia levels must be 0. They are carnivores, so cannot be fed goldfish or tropical fish food as their main diet, they need beta specific food. Barring any of this, they are also susceptible to disease from poor pet store conditions, or introduction of other fish that were not previously quarantined for observance beforehand.

I have a 2.5 gallon half-moon beta fish aqua oasis tank for it, I make sure the filter is working and change it every month, I never forget to feed them (beta food), I change the water frequently and I use beta water conditioner (6.5 mL for 2.5 gallons of water)

Well, if you love your Betta fish, then it should live by itself.
