I don't think a person needs to wind an automatic (which gets worn) on a daily basis, but I feel like you are jumping to conclusions on the "only wind 10 times" part. I just consulted a PP owner's manual for a manual wind reference and they indicate to wind the watch 25 turns daily. It's hard to imagine that the same manufacturer would put such a poorly designed winding mechanism into an automatic reference that the same behaviour (I.e. 25 daily winds) would cause damage.
