Was it ever really an Apple Silicon issue or a macOS issue? I thought this was a macOS and SSD issue even before Apple Silicon came out?

corespotlightd and suggestd in particular seem to do some kind of indexing operation after some trigger, which can write tens of gigabytes to the SSD.
I managed to narrow it down to an RSS reader app (from the app store, so presumably not doing anything untoward), which appears to be getting indexed. despite having turned almost all indexing in spotlight off, and even excluded ~/Library and /Library from spotlight.
After the main writes are done (150 MB/s for a period of time), corespotlightd and suggestd then continue to generate a background load of around 50 MB/s of writes for a sustained period of time.
Console logs show there's "ProactiveHarvesting" going on in suggestd, but no clear way to switch this off. I suspect (based on watching it write 16 GB over 5 to 10 minutes), others could be encountering this, or other similar behaviour.

Is this affecting M2 systems also?

One reason, is that I am constantly using Xcode, which is a bug farm, and SourceSafe used to crash like crazy.
Also, some of the apps I'm developing don't start off, perfect. I spend a lot of time crashing.
The advent of the M1 seems to have ushered in a new threading system. The threads act weird, now (look at how long it takes to resolve your stack, on a breakpoint). I'm pretty sure it really doesn't like crashes.
And I stopped playing Borderlands 3, because it liked to crash hard.
