Difficulty in formatting an erasable is most often due to the medium,
not to the software or drive hardware. During a full format, each sector
is written and read back; if the error rate is excessive, the sector is
retried, then retired ...

Note that errors increase with erase cycles; the practical limit is far
less than the theoretical 1000 cycles.

Is cRoxio lying?

In practical terms, you will probably
never wear out a CD-RW disc.
