Are Pi Zeros more fussy about SD cards than other Pis?

I have a Pi Zero 2 W logging data once an hour, it's a 1Mb database
that gets updated each hour.  It has killed its SD card twice in less
than a year and I'm wondering why.

I have a similar logging system using a venerable Pi 2 that's been
running for much longer and writing somewhat more data without any
problems.

The Pi Zero 2 W replaced a Beaglebone Black that had run for several
years without any problems.

Is the Pi Zero 2 W more fussy about its SD card, does it work the card
harder. or have I just been unlucky?

I'd welcome any recommendations for cards that last well.
