Okay, hold on for a second. I am the OP. This title is misleading. We didn't say 'most'. I wasn't able to clearly reproduce this, the people on Twitter are reporting wildly different numbers, some of which are reasonable, and certain usage patterns with heavy swapping have to wear down the SSD. And this also affects Intel macs to some extent.2t External Ssd
Pixelmon tcg servers. What we know so far is that some people are reporting completely unreasonable, dangerous levels of SSD write volume, which on some configurations would be expected to prematurely wear down SSDs (which are not replaceable) well before the expected lifetime of the device. We don't know yet what triggers this; it looks like some kind of bug or software combination, but it's too early to have good leads.
The worst example so far is David's, which, if scaled proportionally (by Flash cell wear) from his 2TB SSD to a base 256GB model, would be reaching 100% lifetime usage within less than a year. This calculation is based on an assumption of equal (proportional) overprovisioning for those two models, and an assumption that whatever triggers this behavior doesn't care about total SSD size; these are sensible assumptions to make at this stage but not verified.
This is clearly a software problem, and fixable with an update. It's not a hardware defect, it's the kernel (we think it's a VM* issue) hammering the SSD way too much.

There is reason to be concerned, and to make sure Apple fixes this if it is a real bug. There is no reason to be alarmed and panic about these machines. If this is a real issue they have to fix it; they aren't stupid, Apple knows full well that the SSDs in some M1 macs dropping like flies within a year would be a PR disaster for them. What we need to do know is gather data and try to find a way to reproduce this.

* VM means Virtual Memory, not Virtual Machine, in this context, for all you non-kernel folks.
