They do stretch over time but there comes a point where it seems to 'level off' and it does not stretch as much as it does when newly inserted (my experience anyway). Taking up the slack with the adjuster is the easy solution but there comes a time when it has to be replaced. Better to replace cables often (ish) and keep the indexing nice and precise, rather than run problems with accelerated wear caused by the chain not running so nicely around the cogs.
