HDDs don't have a set end of life. Instead you use them till the die naturally. SSD you need to be notified when the end of life is.
There is nothing inherently wrong with either way, it's the action AFTER the death (of either) that is the problem: HDDs do they best they can even after a failure. SSDs just die because they are programed to, not because they have to.

Saying: But you are warned does not excuse that.
