In point of fact eMMC wear failure was an actual bug in early Tesla MCUs. They were logging too much, so when the car reached (via routine use) a certain fill level the logging started running over the same storage again and again and the chips started failing.
It's very easy to imagine a response to this being (beyond "don't log so much") an audit layer to start automatically removing redundant data.
The externalities of the company are such that people want to ascribe malice, but this is a very routine kind of thing.
