TLC cannot mature as long as it continues to use 3D-NAND without utilizing a more advanced material science. Reading data and preserving data consume writes, what degrades the memory, because the traces in the vertical stack of the circuit create interference.
Perhaps there are techniques available to separate the traces, but this would ultimately increase the surface area? which seems to be something they are trying to avoid.
You should not use datacenter SSD disks as a reference, as they typically do not last more than two years and a half. It appears to be a profitable opportunity for the SSD manufacturer, and increasing longevity does not seem to be a priority.
To be more specific, we are talking about planned obsolescence for consumer and enterprise SSD disks.
> If you really want a modern SLC drive there's the Kioxia FL6, which has a whopping 350,400 TB of write endurance in the 3TB variant, but it'll cost you $4320.
