This isn't true. Aging is now more of a concern at 16/7nm to the point there's extra margin specially for it. But all that margin does is delay the impact beyond the realistic lifetime of the chip (normally approx 10 years for consumer stuff). Sometimes you can't afford the extra timing margin and you have to use extra anti-aging circuitry instead.
