"Well NVME drives shouldn't fail at a high rate"

What is it about NVME that means they shouldn't fail at a high rate? I don't understand how the protocol should matter much.

I, personally, think a protocol should be resilient and never fail unless there is absolutely no other choice (like TCP where failures are so common that recovering is part of the protocol).
