I have two cheap ass SanDisk pieces of crap that I've used regularly for over 20 years now. I got them sometime in high school, which I graduated in 2003. They're not particularly high capacity, though.
Those are USB 2, then. That'll be quite slow for moving iso's onto and booting from.
Not to mention for moving the files of a steam game.
But yeah, the old solid state storage NAND in them is probably "built different", literally.
They do still sell the design ("Cruzer"). At least, the outer casing part. Though I suppose they could be totally shit and cheap on the inside 🤷🏻♂️
Sounds to me like you need an external ssd and not a usb drive. I recommend Asus TUF Gaming A1 nvme enclosure (~50€ where I live) and an ssd of your choice.
That's not gonna work with my keys.

My 32gb version was recently upgraded and it never gave out. They'll take a pretty serious beating.
What? I don't understand.
USB mass storage drivers are an OS issue, one I don't even think about as a linux user.
If you mean firmware, that's gonna be tricky to update on drives that are straight up dead and no longer even detected.
I thought it might be a joke, but I couldn't spot how.
