The five-year estimate is based solely on hibernation writes, which is a very conservative figure. In reality, most users will use closer to 2% of the TBW for hibernation, not 33%.
For those with heavy I/O workloads, they likely have higher-grade or larger SSDs with a higher TBW rating.
Additionally, TBW isn’t a hard limit and can often be exceeded, with some drives lasting beyond 200%.
For most users, TBW won’t be an issue, and other components are more likely to fail before the drive wears out.
