I have had at least a dozen Lightning devices and I have never had the springs wear out. I’ve never even heard of this happening.
In fact, if those springs are steel and properly designed to prevent unexpected loads, they physically can’t ever wear out.

Some are as low as tens of cycles only (like the 12HVPWR connector on GPUs), USB-A has 1500, USB-C 10,000 precisely because of this inversion. For Lightning it's not known because it's a proprietary standard but it will have a number of mating cycles.
