Replace Stainless Hoses???

Have had stainless hoses on my machine for 7 yrs now. Someone told me that you still have to replace stainless hoses, just not as often. I found this site saying the same. Washing Machine Hose Selection, Installation and Maintenance Page

Any insights?

The inner core of the stainless hoses is the same rubber or vinyl regular hoses are made of. they can still wear, rot, and rupture.
