Referring back to the original post, I would say I look at it like this. Would you hesitate to drive a car because you may eventually wear out the tires? If you want your guns to be museum pieces, you may want to refrain from firing them at all.
A revolver may "shoot loose" if it is fired a lot. Any mechanical device is subject to wear and breakage when it is used. I have some guns that are collector-grade, and a lot more that are shooters. It doesn't horrify me that some of the shooters may have to go to a gunsmith or back to S&W for repairs at some point, any more than it horrifies me that I may need new brakes installed on my truck periodically.
