That’s not been my experience. Hybrids have several major advantages on the maintenance side. Regenerative braking means brakes need to be replaced far less often and keeping the engine off so frequently means it gets far less ware in city driving. Electric motors outlast the vehicle, and significant battery degradation only results in slightly worse fuel economy.
