I knew an elderly lady, back in the eighties, who got really upset if she saw anyone deliberately breaking thread. She used to work in a cotton mill in Lancashire. She said that if you break a thread then the fibres are damaged for a yard or more on either side of the break. So even if the break is an accident, you'd need to waste a lot of thread for safety's sake.
