they did get corroded and that affects the gap.
Clean them with a little 400 sand paper and then re-gap them.  But, you're right.  They were a wear item.  You will hear some people bitch and groan about points, even going so far as to replace with electronic points elimination modules.  I had that motorcycle for 7 years and really did not need to mess with the points very much.
