That’s a good question. But someone else in the thread said that this might allow the wings to last longer if you can ensure that the forces on them are lower on average.

It’s certainly going to be easier to replace hydraulic cylinders or something for the control services than the entire wing (which I’m assuming no one does).

So it may still be a net win in maintenance terms.
