Bullshit.

Writing (and reading) to a memory cell on a DRAM does not in any way
damage the cell. What idiot told you that or did you make it up?

That is like saying you can only freeze and thaw water so many times
before you need to replace it.

I suppose you would never change the cooking oil in a fry pot.
Cooking oil has a limit how much food you can fry in the same oil.

Water gets dirty and a breeding ground for bacteria. You would want to
change the water often.

It is not a myth. It is the type of memory.

Three different sources.

How about straight from a memory manufacturer.

Flash is not DRAM, and Flash reads aren't limited, but write/erases are limited
to around 100K. Some flash memory systems rotate memory blocks to even out wear,
but even without that, you aren't likely to run into wearing out the memory
unless you use a flash drive as a RAM substitute.

Apology accepted.

Slight correction: The Flash drive will not fail in your lifetime.

And just because water will become stale it will still freeze and thaw
and freeze and thaw and....until the sun explodes. Which will be when
your flash drive will stop working.
