I don't think we're talking about cables wearing out as such, but there is degradation due to corrosion and UV light on insulators for example. The question is, is this a positive or negative effect? If you are carrying AC power to a motor, it really doesn't matter if there's a tiny bit more resistance, but since AC at higher frequencies travels on the surface of cables, a corroding surface may well make things worse for audio - or just different.
