I check SMART regularly. SSDs aren't cheap!
When I'm writing code, disk wear is pretty much always on my mind. I do RasPi work, and I'm always aware that every write could cause a failure if a power glitch happens at the same time, even if the total isn't excessive.
I think OSes should be doing this by default though. Alarms for unusual conditions should be first class OS objects or built into some common standard out of the box tool.
There's about a dozen issues you'd never noticed unless you manually check or set up a monitor service yourself.
