My guess is that Intel couldn't coerce the SandForce controller into behaving nicely. Of course if anyone asks them about the behavior, it's a feature, not a bug. But really, selling almost-dead SSDs is not a big problem. These endurance tests show that you'd have to overwrite a 240GB SSD every day for 5 years before getting close to exhausting it. Drives will become obsolete before they wear out.
Last I checked, Intel used their own controllers in their enterprise SSDs. Now I wonder if their older consumer drives like the X25-M (which used in-house controllers) become read-only instead of bricking themselves.

X25-M G1 dies at ~883TB written (without TRIM, so in reality much more), also by just failing to be detected. On the first page of that thread you see an X25-V (40GB) with 1.5PB written and apparently it is still alive as of earlier this year... http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?271063-SSD-Write-Endurance-25nm-Vs-34nm&p=5221960&viewfull=1#post5221960 http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?271063-SS...
