Why not just buy SLC?

SLC still has a minimum block size that gets used during writes.

Only in very small capacity raw flash chips, generally less than 1GB in size. This is still somewhat popular in embedded systems because it's often inexpensive. But it's basically impossible to purchase an SLC flash-based drive with a modern managed interface (NVMe, SATA, eMMC, SD, etc) today.
