SD cards just die out quickly because people don’t treat them the same as their internal drive. When you’re replacing the main drive to your most important machine do you go to aliexpress and sort by price low to high? Or do you do some research first and see if it’s a well rated drive?
SD cards are tiny so getting one in high capacities, speeds, and high write cycles is a lot harder without paying a lot more money. The SD cards I have in my dashcam have been recording 4k + 1080p video almost continuously for 5+ years and they’re still going strong. But I also bought drives rated for that kind of use.
Depends on what metric you look at.
SSDs also have essentially no wear from reading.
