For the adventuresome: with a little work, one can configure their SD card to use a filesystem made for SD cards (f2fs). A summary is posted here Raspberry Pi, SD Cards and there are several writeups elsewhere. Not without risk, but if one is careful, it becomes ‘normal’. I routinely convert to F2FS for use in my android phones’ SD cards, and have done so for all the Pi units I have in use. From the looks of things, people have a wide variety of experiences of running SD cards for years without issues, others sandpaper them to death every few months. I believe the “right” answer is: it depends on the quality of the cards and how they are used; meaning, there is no one ‘right’ answer… 
Gather the experiences of others, filter them through one’s fact-check sensibilities, and make a choice - freedom to experiment and succeed or fail. Good luck!
