Yeah, generally you can't convert or mix-and-match.  But the NVMe drives
I've switched from 512 to 4K erased the contents (basically an internal
format), with big warnings about it, so it's not a huge thing anyway.

On the original question: it's possible that Samsung has decided the
effort and usage for switching to 4K are worth the benefits.  They're
probably not using 4K sectors internally either, maybe using something
bigger to match newer flash write cycles better.
