It’s true in practice.

A boat that is constantly going out will have someone constantly monitoring engine fluid levels, exercising through-hulls, maintaining battery levels, monitoring moisture, leaks, and bilge, and so on. Just by virtue of operating it.

The boat tied up at the dock, indefinitely, could easily go without any of the above. A little problem blossoms and grows, unnoticed, into a crippling, sinking issue.
