Best Answer

Inertia. A system will not change it's properties until an external force is applied. Permanent magnets DO decrease in strength by being used as they are subjected to external magnetic fields that oppose them. How much a permanent magnet will be affected by the external field depends on it's Hysteresis loop characteristics.
