Right, but through which mechanism does that maKe a difference? Does controller periodically rewrite all contents? In other words how, does being powered-on increase retention of static data?
Also all of these are minimum requirements. They don't actually imply much, except about the state of technology when the statement was written. Flash has been improving very quickly on all axes.
And yet there are still people who will post about the good old days and the evils of MLC, as if current SSDs were not demonstrably better in every way.

They aren't. Write endurance is significantly lower than SLC, it's just compensated for by lots of write leveling.
