Yes, bit rot happens all the time. Normally the drive its self catches and repairs these errors, but sometimes they slip through and become the filesystems problem. It doesn't really happen super often, but the fact that it happens at all mandates that filesystems that care about data integrity handle it.

Or they could just add more error correction bits to the flash storage in the phone, if this really were a problem.

Got it.

Thanks for explaining.
