Same idea as wore out coil springs that cause a car to sag and bottom out easily.

Wow, you need to learn what coil bind is. I agree that the springs will be weaker over time, but that doesn't have a thing to do with coil bind. Coil bind comes from the coil being too big and the cam having too much lift, causing the coil to bind. This obviously can't happen unless you think the spring grows over time.

Maybe it is just the way you word your post, but to say Webcams are good and Crowers should stick to NA cams because they can't make power on a turbo car is wrong. Several of us are making good power on Crowers.
