The larger your SSD the more flash cells you have, so the more data you can write to it before it fails.
You can see this from the warranty for example, which for the Samsung 970 EVO[1] goes linearly from 150TBW for the 250GB model up to 1200TBW for the 2000GB model.
So if you take the 1000GB model with its 600TBW warranty, you can write 50BG of data per day for over 32 years before you're exhausted the drive write warranty.
