That way, people can choose whether they want to install various software betas based on how much SSD wear they are willing to accept.
And since this data would be made public and available in one place, software developers would be more careful about excessive logging in their betas.
At least on Apple devices, this is not something anyone has to worry about.
For example, on my 2022 Mac Studio daily driver, on 24/7, DriveDx (https://binaryfruit.com/drivedx) reports my SSD lifetime left at 94%.
(I'm aware of the February 2021 "wear-gate" scare involving the first M1 Macs. This turned to be incorrect SSD-wear reporting.)

What about people who want their laptop to last 10 years?

Not trying to discourage you from building your thing, but just figure that's worth considering.
Also, I could see why developers would want excessive logging in their betas, so that's kind of a catch-22 (without the verbose logs it might be harder to fix bugs found in the beta)

You can replace your SSD without replacing your laptop.
On some laptops, it requires a complete motherboard replacement.
I would consider such laptops not fit for purpose and wouldn't buy one in the first place. Of course, that doesn't help if that's the sort you have. Sorry.

Really?? I would consider such laptops not fit for purpose and wouldn't buy one in the first place. Of course, that doesn't help if that's the sort you have. Sorry.

Just depends on what your priorities are.
