Why do SSDs have limited amount of rewrites?

Why do SSDs have a limit rewrites whereas from what I recall, HDs didn’t have this concern? (though they broke often haha) SSD’s have no moving parts, so I’m curious, is it just the current that damages it over time? What happens exactly?

Just to correct your misconception – for all intents and purposes HHDs did not and do not break often. In fact, I doubt there is a mechanical/electric device that you have ever used that has the kind of reliability (factoring in time of use) that HDDs had/have.
