I remember hearing about this, so I tend to avoid yardsaling my climbing gear all over the parking lot. But at the same time, I don’t really worry about it. If leaving nylon on asphalt actually caused a strength reduction to the point where the gear would fail, we’d hear about a lot more climbing deaths due to snapped ropes - which we don’t.
I assume this is a joke, but people don’t just die and disappear off the face of the earth. When someone dies in a climbing accident, people find out, and the death is documented in climbing accident journals.
Don’t put a climbing rope on asphalt the oils will mess it up.

Maybe Big Rope is silencing people.
