Default How long to wear out frets

Seeing other fret threads... I changed strings on Monday. For the first time ever, I noticed that I have grooves in the frets near the headstock. I play mostly rhythm in the first position, but I never considered what I do to be heavy usage. This is my first and only acoustic, for about 2 years.

I'm wondering if it is a symptom of cheap metal (low cost guitar) or normal. I've been looking for an excuse to upgrade... but I was curious about it too.
