On the contrary, back in the last century, i came across number of squealing cassettes, mostly of the low cost variety, that would show the same symptoms even when new. They were obviously cheaply made, and usually the only solution was to move the tape to a new lubricated shell.
I don't deal with a huge number of cassettes, but own many old ones and have never seen a sticky-shed cassette, not that you haven't!
Just offering my experience.
