Lasers in burners certinaly do have a finite life. Quite short, in fact.
I used to rotate them out after 1000 burns. I don't keep track anymore because I'm now only using them for personal backups. A goodly number of my friends have various generations of Pioneer recorders in their machines. They mostly get used for reading discs, so they have a good lifespan left ahead of them.
