Yeah, it's a bug. But don't go crazy over it.
Back in 2016, a Spotify bug resulted in writes of approximately 700GB/day [1]. No SSD died, judging from the lack of a class action lawsuit. And at least for my MBP SSD, I can tell you it is still doing very much alright, despite being thrashed for anywhere between a few weeks to a few months.
Having said that, do apply any temporary fix. Even if the effect will probably be negligible, it's still unnecessary wear.
