Owned a Pixel 1 in the past, and it started to suffer from the same issue, so this may be an inherent problem in flash storage (at least as it's implemented in mobile phones).

That might be a coincidence as Nexus 5 was made by LG while Pixel 1 was by HTC.

For years now, phones use UFS storage which is significantly more resilient to degradation. Which is why longer support cycles are necessary.
