The circuit resistance is the sum of the resistances of all those bulbs in series. Thus the current flow is 1/n of a single bulb, where n is the number of (identical) bulbs. Meaning that the bulbs glow that much less brightly. And also that they burn out that much less often. Hardly seems sufficient justification.
