I would think loosening the strings for storage would CAUSE damage because the guitar is designed to have that tension on it, without it for an extended amount of time could cause problems when you introduce the tension again.
Just my observation.

Hmm. It has been my first hand experience as well as hearing countless stories, that leaving a guitar unplayed under tension for long periods of time can cause the bridge to lift towards the neck which eventually will raise the string height till it is unplayable. If caught soon enough, the bridge can be shaved down. If not , it is firewood or a lap
slide guitar. I am just talking acoustics and hollow bodies, not solid slabs of wood.
