Perhaps real window motors do, but the Denso window motors that we work with have no such limit. The motor itself (the metal appendage) drives a worm screw that runs the motor's output, so the main consideration in using a window motor is the need to prevent backdrive.
Other than that, if both are suitable for your application, just figure out which is more optimal, and test it to make sure it's durable. I've never seen a window motor burn out, but my team also hasn't used window motors for a couple of years. I have, however, seen Banebots motors ship in with case shorts (I blame Banebots for making use of pathetically poor quality suppliers) and develop case shorts with use.
