2400 TBW endurance / 4 TB = 600 Drive Writes
600 Drive Writes / 1826 days = 0.328 Drive Writes per Day = ~1.31 TB writes per day (assuming 1x write amplification)

I still haven't had an SSD fail on me yet. Got a large stack of used 256 and 512GB SSDs(many brands) because none have failed. The only issue I've had was that somewhat recent 24H2 update that bricked a bunch of my SSDs until bios updates came out. I honestly don't pay attention to the endurance ratings anymore.
A long time ago, Anand (of the late Anandtech website) used a tool to monitor his data write usage on his home work computer. IIRC, he found that his daily writes averaged about 7 GB of data per day, even as a power user.
I really can't come up with use cases outside content creation (audio, video, or otherwise), or software building, where someone might be writing that much data. And those people who need that capability are probably going to choose drives that are optimized for that purpose.
