Data point: in practice I’ve given fewer strong votes as my vote power has increased and will very rarely use strong votes on comments where it would dramatically change the comment karma (or posts, but most posts get enough karma I feel fine strong voting)
I also have not used them since my voting power increased, simply because unduly exaggerating my voice is unethical. But once sufficiently many other people do it, or are suspected of doing it, this inhibition would go away.
The users of the forum have collectively granted you a more powerful voice through our votes over the years. While there are ways you could use it unethically, using it as intended is a good thing.
