Does buttering ruin your skis?

Depends how heavy you are.

they're stressful on the skis but unless your skis have a defect or they're already almost dead, they're not going to just snap. buttering is part of normal use for a ski like the arv96... just a particularly intensive use! don't worry about it

No. If anything they will cause slight delam in tips/tails but I think that comes more from impacts bc on most park skis If you look at a slo mo video the tips will flatten to the ground at impact from just flex.

I spend a lot of time buttering and a couple of years ago, I saw the tips delamming on about half the skis I tested for Roofbox. Since then I've had fewer issues, not sure if that's because of what I've been testing or just luck though. I also find that some skis lose their rebound over time, some also lose their shape (by over time here, I mean under 30 days because I almost never get to ski anything for longer than that).

However, skis are meant to be used so it's kind of a pointless question. I mean rails definitely break 100% of skis eventually, but you wouldn't not ski park rails because eventually your skis might break...
