No, this is about that they, probably for software reasons, write a lot to the SSD which might cause defects in the future. This is not a hardware issue (apart perhaps from the 8Gb memory limitation)
We can conveniently nitpick whether or not we treat Apple products as an integrated hardware-software product, the reality is thousands of these units have shipped and from those screenshots, many have already racked up 2-4 years wear in a matter of weeks, for a component that cannot be replaced without replacing the entire motherboard.
The product configuration as shipped inflicts permanent damage on itself, it's very difficult to see this as anything but a manufacturing defect.

What "2-4 years wear"?
It's 1% of usage in 2 months. That's par for the course for any SSD in any laptop with regular usage, and it should last long before the laptop is updated in 6 or so years...
Heck, 50% "percentage used" would take 8 years with this rate...
These are my stats from 2 identical sticks of 250 GB Samsung SSD bought in the summer of 2018. So yea, Apple probably want to tweak some settings. I use my computer a lot, Linux more than the Windows install which is mostly for gaming.
