Of course it does. For one, that's heat you have to efficiently remove or face SSD throttling back on you or degrade over time. It does not make sense to buy expensive hardware if it is going to show impaired performance due to thermal throttling.
This makes the business of putting together your PC this much more complicated, because up until recently you only had to take care about CPU and GPU and everything else was mostly afterthought.
We are already facing motherboards with their own fans, now I suppose it is time for SSDs.
