We're not talking about the SSD controller dying. The SSD controller in the hypothetical situation that's being described is working as intended.

Not as far as I can tell, where intended is ‘as any user would reasonably expect’. Bricking the drive (can’t even read) because of too many errors is not what most users would ever want.

Some would (enterprise maybe), but even then they’d want deterministic data deletes too, which doesn’t sound like are happening.

    You can argue that controllers shouldn't behave that way. But they do, it's not a bug, and it's not a dead controller. It's a perfectly functional controller's response to dead blocks.
