Those early SSDs if I remember right had very low cycle limits, the limits now are over 10x better than they were then.
Depends which age/tech.
Every additional 'Level' in the flash decreases the overall life cycle. Mind you, oftentimes drive controllers are fancier, often doing things like treating one of the sections as a less dense flash type to improve write cycles, and keep/move longer held data into the regions treated as QLC.
But, that means that some heavy write patters will indeed wind up worse on a modern drive than the better MLC/TLC models.
I had the same on Windows + a SSD. Docker with some Sqlite applictions apparently did crazy writes. SSD went from 100% to 80% in like half a year time or so, when I noticed it. That SSD is still alive, but I had to adapt.
