This sounds similar to the concept of self-healing materials. Such materials aren't necessarily at full health (optimal structure) following manufacture, so could expect to see improvements through use.
Some materials and devices also benefit from being broken-in; where properties which impede utility are degraded more rapidly than properties which positively contribute to it.
