Most people replace their phones before it becomes an issue. Phones are often used for small amounts of time as people pick them up to reply to a message, browse the web for a bit or watch a video. Monitors are on for long durations and have more stationary UI elements, so they will suffer from burn-in much sooner.
Smartphones also benefit from vertical integration. Your iPhone for example knows it’s an iPhone and knows that the display uses OLED and exactly what its properties are, so it can use a mitigation to subtly vary the exact location of UI elements to help reduce the effect. Your desktop PC could do this in principle, but it doesn’t necessarily know the display technology with such certainty, so mitigations for one specific technology hasn’t been a priority on that platform.
Something I've noticed with my computer monitor is that it does this shifting thing. The usable resolution is 1440p, but the screen is actually a slightly higher resolution with maybe 10 extra pixels in each direction that it uses to very slowly bounce the display image around in like a very large DVD player screensaver.
Interesting! Maybe these monitors do this too. My eyes are not sharp enough to observe such a thing.
My dad's Pixel 5 has some mad burn in. You can see the circles from his home screen icons across other apps. I've never had this happen personally, not sure how it happened to his.
Haha.... Yeah..... Me too.... I definitely don't just have it in my hand while I look at it for 12 hours a day. Nope, not me.
