NVMe drives do their own manipulation of the datastream. Wear leveling, GC, trying to avoid rewriting an entire block for your 1 bit change, etc. NVMe drives have CPUs and RAM for this purpose; they are full computers with a little bit of flash memory attached. And no, of course they're not open source even though they have full access to your system.

Anything that uses NAND storage technology is going to be optimized in some way like this. NVMe is just the messenger.
