   You're purposefully missing the point:   
      
   - SSD or NVMe failures happen on hardware produced by every manufacturer   
   under the sun. Keeping an eye on the hardware's TBW is a good idea to know   
   when to replace it. On Apple machines, the NVMe is soldered onto the board   
   and the data needed to boot the device is on that same hardware. Once it   
   dies, it sends a 13V shock to other components essentially killing the   
   entire computer. Even if you manage to replace the NVMe and replace any   
   damaged parts, you're still going to be missing the required data to boot   
   the computer.   
      
   How would you defend that?
