Apple has used glass trackpads for many, many years. That's why they don't wear out from use.

I've never worn out a trackpad. Seems they shatter when hit though.

Before Apple switched to glass, which was back in the titanium PowerBook G4 days, if I'm not mistaken, trackpads definitely wore. They'd get progressively less slippery and quite annoying to use.
