The vast majority of SSD failures I've heard about have nothing to do with
wearing out. Not only that, but write amplification improvements and wear
leveling algorithms have made SSDs far more durable than they used to be.

They do not, not at all. They have limited write cycles, as few
as 10^5 cycles. And, every time you erase them (before writing)
they slow down. At end of rated life the write speed is orders
of magnitude slower than it
