Default Shut off water when washer not in use?

A plumber told me that it's a good idea to shut off water from the
washer when it's not in use because the flexible lines aren't rated to
continuous pressure.

A. Is that true?
B. Does the same apply to the gas line for the dryer?


If the hoses are old then turning the water off each time is a good
idea. Replacing the hoses is even better.
