..., I am just theorizing here.
I based the Flash life-span on a recent article in an IEEE publication (I get several, can't recall which). The number of flash-cycles before degradation has gone down as speeds have gone up. Speed has been the main improvememt driver. People tend to replace/lose the devices long before they hit the cycle limit.
