> QLC is basically useless unless you use it as write-once-read-many memory
The market thoroughly disagrees with your stupid exaggeration. QLC is a high-volume mainstream product. It's popular in low-end consumer SSDs, where the main problem is not endurance but sustained performance (especially writing to a mostly-full drive). A Windows PC is hardly a WORM workload.
Seems like it is though? Most consumer usage does not have much churn. For things like the browser cache that do churn the total volume isn't that high.
The comparison here is database and caching workloads in the datacenter that experience high churn at an extremely high sustained volume. Many such workloads exist.
