That is a weak excuse to rely on data integrity in the hardware. They most likely had that feature and removed it so they wouldn't be liable for a class action lawsuit when it turns out the NAND ages out due to bug in the retention algorithm. NTFS is what, 35 years old at this point? Odd comparison.
The point is that NTFS makes zero effort to maintain file integrity at any level.
Handling file integrity at the hardware level is a big step up.
NTFS is an ancient but well designed file system, a more apt comparison would be ZFS or BTRFS both of which checksum metadata and data.
