Would you ask a great ballet dancer not to dance because she could break her foot?
Maybe she has a weak damaged foot. But asking her not to dance is to go against her nature.
If the camera lies unused on a shell, it's like if it's broken. What is the difference? None. So better to use it.
Unless, of course, you plan to sell it, in that case you are right, better not use it too much.
But you should still cock and fire shutter a few times every month.
Complete unuse is the most dangerous condition for a camera. A little regular use is healthy.
