most of the reason for this is that tlc still has plenty of endurance for any remotely normal use case. people get really worried about the decrease in reliability, but normal tlc drives are warrantied to 0.3 DWPD, which is still a ton (~900 hours of 8k compressed raw video for a 2 TB SSD)

The problem isn't endurance, it's retention. Early SLC was rated for 10 years retention after 100K cycles. The latest QLC is only rated for several months after 300 cycles.
