Well, the springs absorb some amount of recoil, so when they lose tension over time that means more force is being transmitted into the frame and slide, which are zamak and zamak doesn't last long when that happens. Also, it probably doesn't hurt having a fresh spring in every 1000 rds for reliability sake.
