NAND wear is probably more linked to age than number of writes.
No, NAND is flash memory, it has a definite limit on the number of times it can be written to (in each sector, that is). It doesn't matter how old flash memory is, if you reach its write limit, it's useless.
All flash memory is like this, including most SSDs. The only variation is what the limit is and what the firmware does to compensate. So one might take more writes than another, but regardless, every write *necessarily* brings it closer to the end of its life.
