In a rush to catch up with his team heading out for friday afternoon beers, Bob grabs his jacket and backpack and fails to notice he left Flappy Bird Implemented in MacOS running. It's a bank weekend. Bob doesn't know it, but his laptop SSD write cycles are being eaten up at a rate of 4 frames per second. Bob returns on Tuesday to find his SSD drive no longer works.

I wonder if anyone who gets Flappy Dird running at work is ever really likely to be 'in a rush'?

In a rush to leave work for beers??? Most definitely.

Well that’s genuinely disturbing

I would certainly hope that you can do this for years without the drive dying.
