Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

"wearing out" is the wrong term

A CD should never wear out if it is stored properly, handled carefully and played in good equipment.

There is a risk of "disc rot" but that is not a function of physical wear but more tied to defective manufacturing that allows the reflective surface to oxidize over time. This eventually results in playback errors and may render the disc unreadable. I've only had a few of those over the years -- from a quality control standpoint, the risk of getting a bad LP pressing is multitudes worse.
