There is no known wear-effects in flash storage as long as you
only read.

You may need to do refresh-writes every 5-10 years to avoid
tunnel-leakage bit errors, but most flash controllers use semi-long
ECC syndromes and will do so on first bit that gives an read error.

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
