You're allowed to disagree with me :)
But there is *no* reason anyone should have to abuse their voice...I don't care what kind of music they sing. I have personally sung two of the most "trying" sorts of music: opera and high belting, and have never had any problems with vocal fatigue or "wear and tear." Again, if your technique is solid, you shouldn't run into any problems.
Now, if you are on tour, singing for many hours every night, I can conceive of running into vocal fatigue problems. But I believe that if singers gradually build up their singing, they will find they run into few fatigue problems (as long as they get plenty of rest and are otherwise in good health). A runner doesn't start by running a marathon; they begin with much shorter runs. I believe that everyone's instrument is a little different in this respect, so I can say that not all singers are "built" for the three-four hour gig every night. But anyone should be able to get through an average performance schedule (such as you would have if you were in an opera or Broadway musical).
