But what's actually happening? There seems to be a lack of technical information.

And why does the SSD allow this to happen? A SSD has its own onboard computer, it's not just allowing the OS to do whatever it wants. Obviously the OS can write way too much and reach the endurance limit but that should have been figured out almost instantly, with OS write stats and SMART stats.

It is not published yet on the Microsoft update page (https://support.microsoft.com/KB/5063878). And it only applies to Windows 11 24 H2.
