Default Should you seal grout?

I had a home with all tile floors and had the grout sealed. I was later told that it wasn't a good idea because the sealant will eventually wear down in spots, and when you spill something on it, the liquid will seep through the spot and spread underneath the sealed area which is then impossible to remove. How long it would take the sealant to break down??? I don't know, but I would assume that it would wear in heavy traffic areas quicker.
