Don't some SSDs have 512b page size?

I would guess by now none have that internally. As a rule of thumb every major flash density increase (SLC, TLC, QLC) also tended to double internal page size. There were also internal transfer performance reasons for large sizes. Low level 16k-64k flash "pages" are common, and sometimes with even larger stripes of pages due to the internal firmware sw/hw design.

They might present 512 blocks to host, but internally the ssd almost certainly manages data in larger pages
