Take care of your stuff and it will take care of you.
I don't want to say I've never cut a strap because I routed it badly..... because I have. Also had a load shift or a strap vibrate into something is was close to and then get frayed. (Once frayed, they are junk. Throw them away!) But for the most part, I've had my straps for years. I've lost more due to loaning them out..... buddies that don't know how to strap things properly, or just don't ever return them.
