Just FYI, here's an Intel user with the issue. 50% lifetime usage in 7 months.

There is no way this is normal :-)

A user having high drive usage doesn't make it an issue, let alone the same issue.

That user you linked to is using Catalina (as they mention in their twitter thread where they demonstrate a 3% usage increase over 2 weeks), so it will be completely unrelated to the support for silicon, which wasnt added until Big Sur.
