Yes, because the button is a physical object and physical objects wear out eventually. No one has managed to invent a mouse that circumvents the laws of physics.

Every switch has a certain number of click it can do before wearing out. It's unlikely that you will reach that click number before you replace the mouse though.

Well, I have worn one or more buttons out on mice multiple times before even considering replacing the mice, so...

In fairness, what were the mice.... Some have considerably shorter lifespans than others.

The latest victim was a Logitech G500. The older ones were all Logitechs as well, but I can't remember the models.

All switches and buttons have a lifespan.  Some are rated for 500k operations and some aren't rated at all.  The manufacturer might have done a durability test on the final product to ensure longevity but I haven't seen much advertised as "good for x number of clicks".  If it has a 1 year warranty then you'll get 1 years worth of clicks for sure.

I also believe that a mouse's lifespan is entirelly depenedant on how its used: a mouse used for scientific research will last longer then, lets say, a mouse used by CoreJJ or Faker.
