It is true about the limited R/W cycles however (1) that number is high something like 100,000 typ and (2) the memory manager should be managing the memory so that all sectors see equal use. It’s really not a problem for a photographer’s SD card it’s more of a concern for memory use where there is a lot of read write activity.
There is a technical discussion and more info here if you are interested.
