Yea it's definitely not really as much of an advantage when you have an SSD. It's much faster on SSDs, but it's absolutely awful for the health of an SSD, you're right.
I have 16GB or RAM so it's basically useless for me. Linux still set a tiny one up when I installed it, and Mac OS still used a 1Gb one for some reason. I actually need to remove a stick of RAM because it's starting to go bad and has caused random system probems. I plan on doing that soon, but removing a stick of RAM can actually slow down your computer beyond just losing RAM. Turns out RAM is twice as fast when paired with another stick that's of the same type.
