It’s not. You can count years, but years are a unit of time and you can’t count time. Same thing with kilos or meters or liters or a bunch of other things.
It’s not a super strict rule that you can apply blindly anyway. Money is very much countable but it’s “less”.
Wow. It’s rare to see someone incorrectly use fewer instead of less.
Isn’t fewer the better choice in formal English because years is a countable plural noun?

I have less money, because I have fewer dollars. I have less time to live than them, because I have fewer years left.
