Sure. Same situation if your CPU, Chipset, PMIC, or any random capacitor or resistor dies on any other laptop. SSDs have achieved the point where a replacement from a failure is almost unheard of compared to other components failing first. Nobody complains their laptop CPU isn't socketed.

It's definitely a frustration for upgrades - but not really reliability anymore. When's the last time someone complained their phone's SSD died?

I'd love my CPU to be socketed actually. Though Intel's practice of changing sockets every generation defeats the purpose a bit.

One out of my three macbooks (that I ever had) died because of SSD. They have a limited lifespan. That's a common problem for 3-5 years old macbooks.
