Well actually it is relevant seeing as how many people use chew toys as substitutes for their couches and other household items. So if you remove the chews from the house the dog will turn on the items it's not supposed to chew, which IMO may ultimately be worse.
Not if the dog knows better.
I've had Simba for years, ever since he was 8 months old. He'll be turning 6 this Christmas.

He's never had chews unsupervised, and he's never torn up any of our furniture.

Even so, if the dog has seperation anxiety or anything of the sort, then they shouldn't be unsupervised so long so they get the chance to tear up furniture or anything else.
