-1911 magazines from WW2 that were discovered loaded for over 50 years have been fired reliably, so obvioulsy being loaded over 50 years did not seem to matter.

- Springs are easy and cheap to replace, no big deal.

- What really fatigues springs is dynamic wear, (meaning loading and unloading in this case). Leaving a magazine loaded would possibly take more than the rest of your life to really damage the spring significantly.
