No, it's not harmful. Formatting, in fact, is a record of several tens or hundreds of kilobytes.

Well, the example with formatting Windows clearly does not fall under the concept of often, in any case, there is a TBW parameter and it determines the service life of the SSD and most of all this resource will spend what is written after formatting rather than itself

If you do the format infrequently, then there will be no harm

When installed, the suggested formatting is a "quick format" Just one pass. Just resetting the state of the cell. The data is not actually erased.

Frequent deep-type erasing and overwriting won't make it healthy, and formatting is harmless.
