Just anecdote, but I haven’t had SD card issues in 6-8 years, and my RPi usage has gone up a lot. That includes a setup with very read/write-heavy process that ran for 2+ years without issues. It filled up the SD card every 45 days, and only had reliability problems when I forgot to transfer data and it filled up the card. That was just a decent consumer-grade SD card. I’m not sure your experience happens to most people, at least not recently.
