The spec covers the external interface.  The internal implementation
details is not a concern for the spec.

So you can make a card that simply gives you a fixed mapping.  Filesystems
like FAT would kill that rather quickly.

You can make one that does full lovely wear leveling and it would last
much longer.

Other than one dying sooner than the other, there is no difference that
the user can see from the outside.  Both would provide a certain number
of sectors that you can access.  How those sectors map to the flash
chips internally is really none of the users business.
