It wouldn't solve other mismatched expectations. For example, the vendor might ship those SSDs only to store firmware-initiated crash dumps. They don't expect them to be used to meet production storage requirements. Maybe to occasionally boot a maintenance system, but that's it. To them, this is kind of obvious because everybody has a SAN anyway. But of course, this is not actually true in practice because customers vary a bit.
