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?

Before anyone starts to get anxious about their SSD dying, don’t worry. An SSD is expected to survive between 10-15 years of common use before being unusable
