I can't speak for everyone. I tend to change my strings when they need to be tuned more often. Regardless off how often you play/practice, they strings will eventually lose tension. Keeping the strings wiped down will add life to them...I mean wiping them keeping them clean.

Do you use Fast Fret or anything like that to clean strings ? I wounder if that would help any. I will keep strings on way past the point, they should be changed . I'm the only one that has to listen to my playing . I do know you can keep strings on so long that they will sound bad even if a cheap tuner says they are in tune . : )
