There is some truth to it, it can kill a bad master cylinder that might have otherwise limped along for a while longer. But really, if it was that abused and that bad, you probably should be swapping it anyhow.

Drum brake cars probably don't have this problem, at least ones with manual adjusters. Unless you are uncommonly ontop of adjustment, you regularly get to 'exercise' those lower parts of the MC.
