Ask HN: Why don't operating systems provide complete SSD write accountability?

Excessive writes can wear out an SSD. So even one bug could kill your computer. (Not all SSDs are replaceable.)

So why don't operating systems always tell you precisely what app/service is responsible for excessive writes so that you can turn off the app/service and contact its authors?
