It is supposed to be a wear item. And remarkable suggests changing the tips often.

Durability

The durability of the marker tips will vary with writing technique and amount of usage. Our best estimate for an average user is anywhere between three to seven weeks, hence, the 10 pen tips are likely to last between six months and upwards to 15 months depending on usage.

You can purchase additional marker tips in the reMarkable Store.
The price for a 8 pc set is $12 in the US from remarkable store. Which is not too excessive when comparing to other replacement tips (there is cheaper ones and much more expensive ones). (ETA: or €12 from the EU store)

Maybe what they should do is make tips that are more durable at the expense of a little less stellar experience writing.
