Linux supports raw flash, called an MTD device (memory technology device). It's often used in embedded systems. And it has MTD-native filesystems such as ubifs. But it's only really used in embedded systems because... PC SSDs don't expose that kind of interface. (Nor would you necessarily want them to. A faulty driver would quietly brick your hardware in a matter of minutes to hours)

A buggy firmware will brick an SSD and block every option for recovering at least part of the data.
